Linux 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686, Firefox, etc. wine-1.1.14 (latest yum) I'm creating web pages and need a way to test IE. I've been using IE6 for some time and just tried to upgrade to IE8. I searched for "wine install ie8" and found several, followed this one and that one step by step, winecfg, tricks... wine iexplore.exe runs (I think) IE7. wine .wine/drive_c/windows/ie8/iexplore.exe pops up a wine window and hangs up with "unimplemented function iertutil.dll.321" I did find .../ie8/iertutil.dll And now if I do 'wine iexplore.exe' I get WINE-HQ, which works but has no URL line so I can't go anywhere... As a note, ie6 was installed under .ies4linux. Before I "yum erase the-world" and start from scratch - thought I raise my hand and ask for help.

I've yet to write a web page that passes HTML-tidy and fails to display correctly with IE6, but ymmv. In the aftermath of the Google hack via IE6 just about everybody including M$ are preparing to bury IE6 ASAP. The only exception I can think of is the UK Govt, but they'd keep using it just to be contrary. So, can you just ignore it and work on the principle that anything that passes HTML-Tidy will work on any current standards-compliant browser? Martin
1.1.14 is over a year old; upgrade. IEs4Linux is not supported here. This forum is for plain Wine.> And now if I do 'wine iexplore.exe' I get WINE-HQ, which works but has no URL line so I can't go anywhere...That's Wine's iexplore.exe. You forgot to set it to native in winecfg.
