Anything, really, but most noticeably the Flash player. |

The Macromedia Flashplayer 7 is working in my IE. It is not so fast as it is in Linux and some time it redraws it self for no reason, but it works.

I tried the newest installation method with 20040615 and I needed to add "mshtml" = "native" to the main dlloverrides section for it to work, just adding it where the instructions said to add it didn't work. It crahes a lot but it works well enough to test out my web pages.
Arg IE's CSS support is horrendous, can't believe it doesn't even understand "position: fixed;". |

|
|
does anybody have the https working?
whenever I go to a secure site I get a page not found.
besides that it works. ( it does crash often, don't know if this is because wine or just IExplorer sucks - hey at least when it crashes it doesn't take my desktop like windows  )
If anyone could tell me how to get the https working I would be very happy!!! |

hi Malakin,
unfortunately for me I have to use it only for those sites.
Like banking... where they don't support anything but IExplorer.
I remember seeing a screenshot of people going to secure sites with wine and internet explorer. just wondered how and what they did to get it. |

| You could always switch banks to one that supports web standards instead of IE. Fortunately the banks here all or at least mostly support other browsers but if mine didn't I'd just switch and make sure they knew why I was closing my account. Have you tried using a "user agent" switcher so the banks website thinks you're using IE? |

| I've tried to update wine to 20040615-r1 but things weren't working very well so I'm downgrading to 20040615 again. Does anyone have a similar experience? |

| I've just emerged 20040716 too and it is possible to install IE using the first method, which is a lot simpler than the second. |

I have IE running using kanaric's procedure, but there's one problem. Many sites make IE crash and return and unhandled exception. I tried Google.com, which works perfectly, but trying to load usebb.net for example makes IE return an error.
Any ideas? |

| I know that popup windows make IE freeze or sometimes when I'm entering a url. It's not very stable, don't rely on Wine if you really need IE. |

|
|
Why were the instructions for IE5 and 5.5 removed? I was able to get both installed using the howto. Using WINEPREFIX, I've got IE5, IE5.5 and IE6 all running at the same time on the same machine. It's fantastic for web development—especially when I've got to do a quick check of a box model hack. Linux—the ultimate Microsoft development environment  |

I think I've found out why it crashed. I had something in my CSS to apply opacity to a single icon which worked in IE normally. I removed it and now just use a custom image for it (it wasn't W3C valid after all). Now it doesn't crash anymore on usebb.net, but still on msn.com, so it might have something to do with the popup window. Perhaps installing the Google toolbar will help... |

i cannot get any of these methods to work.. it APARENTLY installs correctly, but once i execute IE, it just dumps be back to terminal without any error msgs or debug msgs. nothing. i have tried every method listed with the same results.

How did you do it? I downloaded IE 5 and 5.5 from Skyzyx.com and ran iexplore.exe but I soon discovered that it was IE 6 running by the way it displayed the pages. |

I've got three .wine directories containing the three IE installs. To get IE6 intalled, I followed the first method that you described (installed into ~/.wine). To install IE50, I | Code: | $ mkdir ~/.wine_ie501sp2
$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_ie501sp2 |
Then I followed the 1st howto again. The only difference was that when I ran the iesetup.exe executable, it extracted the setup CABs, EXEs, etc into "~/IE 5.01 SP2 Full". I moved that directory into ~/.wine_ie501sp2/fake_windows, then picked up stepp 7 again with: | Code: | | wine ~/.wine_ie501sp2/fake_windows/IE 5.01 SP2 Full/IE5SETUP.EXE |
Did the same thing for IE55 (using .wine_ie55sp2 as my WINEPREFIX).
To run the three at the same time, I do the following: | Code: | $ export -n WINEPREFIX=
$ wine .wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE &
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_ie55sp2 wine ~/.wine_ie55sp2/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE &
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_ie501sp2 wine .wine_ie501sp2/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE & |
I'm quite sure that I'm running the three distinct versions because they each report the correct version to servers and my personal site looks like crap (but different crap) in each of the three.
Let me know if I haven't included enough info here. And thanks so much for the HOWTO. This is the first time that I've ever successfully run *anything* in wine, so it must be the HOWTO! |

I can't change security options when I install IE on Wine 20040716. I think it's better to install IE on Wine 20040615 and then upgrade to 20040716.

|
|
| I'm running wine 20040716 and I followed the first set of directions. Everything seemed to go well and just as expected. However, when I try to run IEXPLORE.EXE, nothing happens. The command prompt returns with no errors and no IE either! I saw a couple other posts in here that suggested to me that I needed the system.reg file (and, btw, that's step 11 from the second set of directions but it is absent in the first set! It goes from 10 directly to 12) but when I went to the link, Frank's Corner had been taken down! Does anyone know where I can get this file or another way to work around this problem? |
