Hello community, I would like to remove IE8, which commes automatically during installation, because I need missed javascript. Then I plan to install IE6. So, how to remove IE8 when I haven't it listed in "Uninstall wine software" but it is for sure somewhere here (after starting IE6 installation I get message "... newer version of IE is installed").

What is included in some distro packages is wine-gecko, which is Wine's substitute for IE. What the IE6 installer is probably complaining about are the fake IE registry entries that come with wine-gecko. To get around it, use winetricks to install real IE.
I understand. After installing one program which need IE to work in his menu he offers options "default browser" and "IE8", thats why I thought that I have IE8 installed. I also try to use winetricks but there is some broken link and other known messages (like update your wine (which is newest)). After this I downloaded with wget IE60.exe and unpack it to my desktop. Can I use winetricks with this and how simplest to do this?
And just to get more informations: In Program Files folder I have some Inerenet explorer folder where iexplore.exe was inside. I dont know which version. This commes automatically.
I do not know how I use wine as root and how do not use it as root. Here everything happens automatically! And I have wery short experience (and obviously knowledge) with linux. @jjmckenzie, I noted some incorrect decodings regarding my code page in IE7 and higher so I need IE6. Actually, I don't need a internet browser as internet browser (there are many choices) but system components of IE6 because program which I need uses this. Also I need javascript support with this. So I would like IE6. Linux 11.10 Oneiric 64bit, wine 1.3.32. Regarding all I search for most simplest solution to get this to work.
James, I dont yet create any users but install process makes one for me. DanKegel, I found now what I donned. Yes, I have shortcut to two terminals. One which want password to start and one which not. I uses those one (with password) because I can edit, copy, delete and so system files and folders (including winetricks). Now I know that this makes me root!> > root at name-think:/usr/bin# whoami > root > root at name-think:/usr/bin# who am i > root pts/1 2011-11-18 12:44 (:0.0) >With normal terminal> > name at name-think:~$ whoami > name > name at name-think:~$ who am i > name pts/2 2011-11-18 22:21 (:0.0) >Obviously, I have to use those second to run winetricks? But if i start winetricks ie6 he want to download again. Is this normal? I belive that IE6 is not installed because I can't see them anywhere on c drive and my software offers me "wine internet explorer" which is reported as IE8 in software's menu. What to do now?
