wine users - Oct 2009 - Installing IE in custom "Wine-prefixes"

Greetings,

Not a very experienced Wine user, I'm trying to install some software in a
non-default directory ("env WINEPREFIX=/a/specific/path wine ..."),
but the thing is, IE5 is required. Is there a way to install in that directory
the same "IE-like" browser which runs in the default Wine context ?

(I tried Ies4linux, but installing IE5 or 5.5 that way seems to be broken)

Any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Best regards

The automatic gecko installer is currently broken (bug 20160
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20160)), so it's best to use
winetricks:


Code:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
env WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix sh winetricks gecko

Is this in a wineprefix where you previously tried to install real IE? If so,
try in a clean wineprefix (no overrides, nothing else installed).
