[SOLVED] Wine and IE

  • Quote

Post by SAngeli » Fri Sep 30, 2005 7:18 pm

Hi,

I run gentoo amd64 and wine.
app-emulation/wine-20050725-r1
2.6.12-gentoo-r9 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

1) I first of all wish to know how to setup my wine config, which file to configure so that wine is properly setup (this to avoid issues with installs). Here is what I have on my ~ $ .wine:
  • dosdevices drive_c system.reg userdef.reg user.reg
I use to configure wine this file: winecfg

2) Because there are many applications who requires the presence of IE (Internet Explorer) I installed manually (wine ie6setup.exe) but I get this error: "Setup was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet.
How to solve this issue? I am 24h on DSL

3) When I run wine setup.exe or manually from konsole, I always get this:
  • wine ie6setup.exe
    Warning: Language '' was not recognized, defaulting to English.
    Warning: Language '' was not recognized, defaulting to English.
    Warning: Language '' was not recognized, defaulting to English.

    Code: Select all

    How to solve this?
Thank you,
Spiro

Hi BlackEdder,

I did as you adviced to.
I downloaded the file, extracted and run it.
At first it complained that I did not have the cab extractor software installed. So, I emerged cabextract.
then I run the sh ies4linux script file, and run it and chosed to install only IE6

Now, here is the first error I noticed:

Code: Select all

Installation options:
[1] Install IE6, IE5.5 and IE 5
[2] Install only IE6
[3] Install only IE5.5 and IE5
Please choose an option: 2


Creating basic Windows installation...

mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/sangeli/.ies4linux/base/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer': No such file or directory
Getting DCOM98.EXE
then I kept running and got a second error:

So, two questions:
1) Is what I did ok?
2) what about the first error or warning?
3) How to fix the second one so tha I can resume the installation?

Thank you,
Spiro

FYI: ~/.wine/config is obsolete since a few months, it has been replaced by the reg-files.

.ies4linux works both without and with config file according to the site... (I unmasked the newest version of wine btw)

I'm still wondering why you would get: mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/sangeli/.ies4linux/base/drive_c/Program Files':

I assume your homedir is: /home/sangeli/?
Could you give the output of:

Code: Select all

ls /home/sangeli/.ies4linux/base/drive_c/
and of:

Code: Select all

mount

one sec.

I just noticed something: I have .wine with its:

Code: Select all

dosdevices  drive_c  system.reg  userdef.reg  user.reg
how come now, also ies4linux has the same ones?

Code: Select all

dosdevices  drive_c  system.reg  userdef.reg  user.reg
Should not all be under .wine?
This is puzzling. I am installing IE6 because I have to install AutoCad through wine. Will this still work???

thank you,
Spiro

For me the mirror doesn't give any problems. I really don't understand what the problem could be.. You could try to redownload ies4linux. The newest version is from yesterday. What wine version are you using. It might be good to unmask wine and emerge the newest version.

Code: Select all

echo app-emulation/wine ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -u wine

.ies4linux installs it's own version of all wine files. When it works you could copy everything from the .ies4linux dir to the .wine dir.
Or you could tell wine to use the .ies4linux dir and then try to install autocad:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=/home/sangeli/.ies4linux/ie6 wine <install program>

Hi,

I did as you adviced me to.
First my wine is up to date with the lates version (I did it two hours ago for another reason).
Then, I removed completely the .ies4linux folder and removed the files I downloaded.
Then, I downloaded the new file, extracted and run it.

Here is the entire sequence:

Code: Select all

 ~/Internet Downloads/Windows OS/Internet Explorer/ies4linux $ ls
config  ies4linux  LICENSE  README
sangeli@mir ~/Internet Downloads/Windows OS/Internet Explorer/ies4linux $ sh ies4linux
=================  IEs 4 Linux =================
Install IE6, IE5.5 and IE5 on Linux via Wine.
This program doesn't have any warranties.

Installation options:
[1] Install IE6, IE5.5 and IE 5

.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers:

.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/temp:

Now, as you can see, there are many errors, but it all finished with ie6 sucessfully installed

a) So, now how do I run it? What do I do?
b) if this is all that it was supposed to be done, you adviced me (based on my question) to move all data to the main .wine folder and remove the existing one so that I do not have a duplicate. Could you please tell me how to do so?
c) would it be a good idea to copy all .dll files from .ise4linux to the .wine system folder, so that I have all these good .dll files handy?

Than you very much for your help.

It should have installed a shell script in ~/bin to run it. So you can run it with ~/bin/ie6 (or if you add ~/bin to your PATH then you can just run it with ie6)
To add it to your path put PATH=$PATH:~/bin in your ~/.bashrc

Copying it to your .wine dir (assuming you already have a .wine dir)

Code: Select all

cp -Ru ~/.ies4linux/ie6/* ~/.wine/
This way all the dll files will also be copied.

Hi,

1) when executing IE, I do this and get the error:

Code: Select all

~/bin $ ~/bin/ie6
wineserver: /home/sangeli/.ies4linux/ie6/system.reg is not a valid registry file
wine client error:0: recvmsg: Connection reset by peer
So, what should I do?

2) Copying it to your .wine dir

Code: Select all

cp -Ru ~/.ies4linux/ie6/* ~/.wine/
This means that it will copy all files and files under subdirectories to the .wine folder. And, if some files already exist in .wine folder than it will not overwrite, correct?

Once I copied all files to .wine, to run ie6, what should I do to run it? Will the ~/bin/ie6 script still remains and should it be updated so that will look into the proper path? Also, can I then remove .ies4linux folder?

3) Is there a way to check if my wine application is properly configured, so that I am sure at least the wine is not the cause of an unsuccess install?



thank you,
Spiro

1) What version of wine do you have installed?
2) It will copy all newer files, so it will overwrite all files I think.. You could also do a cp -Ri and answer no everywhere -> then it will not overwrite the files that already exist. That is probably better, but I'm not sure if it will work then.

Have a look at the ~/bin/ie6 shellscript and it should be easy enough to figure out how to run it.

3) If it runs then it is probably correctly installed. Even if it doesn't run, it might still be installed well enough for autocad.. Sometimes the error message you'll get will be clear. mostly not though. YMMV

Hi,

I have not implemented it yet but the best way to install IE 6.0 is to follow the manual install displayed here:
