When I install IE on 20040716 I don't need to modify system.reg. The first instructions work for me. Downgrade to 20040615 and try to install IE again, then upgrade.
And Frank's Corner is down.

I followed your instructions exactly for 20040716, and it's working pretty well. I can start Internet Explorer and browse web pages. However, I have 3 problems: IE won't display PNG images, it won't run Javascript, and it crashes occasionally while entering a new address in the location bar.
The third problem I don't mind so much, but I installed IE so that I could test my web designs without rebooting. I need to be able to see PNGs and run JS to do so. Has anybody else had these same problems?

That's not in the instructions for 20040716. After following the first set of instructions, I have no directory called "Windows Update Setup Files." There is a file in Windows/System called pngfilt.dll...
Shoud I rerun the installer and choose "Download Only?"

| If pngfilt.dll is already on Windows/System I don't know why IE doesn't display PNGs. Install IE again using wine 20040615. |

thanks to the guides here the installation of ie6 with ssl was quite easy.
Unfortunately I'm not able to install the jvm from ms. During Installation an error occurs: "Unhandled exception 0x80000004..." and afterwards java is not working.
It would be nice if you could give me any help.

For PNG support, I found that I had to install the reg from the second install method. I couldn't figure out how to get the png dll to register otherwise. I thought about trying to isolate the particular registry entry that was necessary, but didn't think that it was worth the bother.
I haven't tried javascript and probably won't. I'm of the camp that believes javascript can be used to improve the UI experience, but should not be required to actually use a web app. So what if the little JS icon is showing up in the status bar? They're just IE users after all 
As for the crashing when entering a new address, I was able to prevent that after disabling address bar autocomplete. Tools -> Options -> Content -> AutoComplete. I disabled all of the auto complete options. They enhance everyday use, but IE is only useful for testing applications and these options just get in the way of that.
Hope that helps!

I am having some trouble doing the first method on any version of wine.
At the end of installing dcom98.exe, wine will just hang up at 100% CPU usage. I ctrl+c out and run ie6setup, but it just hangs up after folder does not exist, would you like to create folder.
nptl, reiser4.. but i doubt those should matter. oh yeah, pic, but i haven't run prelink. I would really like to get this working again to make checking my sites easier.

Reiser4 was the problem. Don't try to run a fake_windows as Reiser4 (and don't mount your / as z: if it's reiser4)

Okay, I have IE installed, and when I try to run it, it shows up for like a half second, and then goes away. I am running wine version 20040716. I get the following errors when I run WINEDEBUG=warn+all wine ~/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE | Code: | warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"Profiles\\Administrator" not found in '/home/frochild/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Windows'

And so on. A window, titled "Download could not complete!" says "http_400.htm from C:\Windows\System\shdoclc.dll" I am sure that I have "mshtml"="native" in my ~/.wine/config

I need some help here. When I run ie6setup it gives a bunch of errors about ThunkConnect and it crashes when it tries to start downloading, saying it was unable to download. In the meantime Wine is giving me this error
Could not load 'SETUPX.DLL' required by 'W95INF16', error=2
over and over. I tried running ie6setup again after downloading setupx.dll but the same thing happened. |

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? |
I get the same exact results and still have yet to find a answer.... anyone know a way to debug even though no error being displayed |

How about mplayer support?Does it have one?
I only need IE to listen to a specific radiostation on-line.
It uses media-player and it does not open on firefox.

A variation on kanaric's method finally worked for me. Here's what I did, in case it's of help to anyone. This is with wine 20040716.
| Code: | mkdir ~/iesetup
cd iesetup
/* download dcom98, setupx.dll, and ie6setup.exe */
rm -rf ~/.wine
wine
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" wine DCOM98.EXE
cp setupx.dll ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System/
wine ie6setup.exe /* at installation options, go to 'advanced', select download only (this is so you don't have to redownload everything if it ends up not working) */
cp ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows\ Update\ Setup\ Files/* .
cp ~/.wine/config .
/* edit iesetup/config according to kanaric's post, or whatever else you feel like trying */ |
That was preparing things so you only have to do a minimal amount of stuff between retries.
Then:
| Code: | rm -rf ~/.wine; wine; mkdir ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows\ Update\ Setup\ Files/; cp ~/iesetup/* ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows\ Update\ Setup\ Files/; WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" wine DCOM98.EXE; cp setupx.dll ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System/; cp config ~/.wine/config
cd ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows\ Update\ Setup\ Files/
wine ie6setup.exe /* minimal install, delete a \ from the path, unselect everything except 'internet explorer 6 browser'. you might leave vbscript enabled, but I didn't because it's useless; I had a single error during the install process, but it didn't crash - I got to the end and clicked the 'Finish' button */
wine wineboot /* I had an error or two here, but nothing close to the minutes of continually pressing 'ok' to ThunkConnect errors and whatever that I had with previous, unsuccessful attempts */
wine ~/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.google.com/ (msn is the default site, and some sort of script on it causes IE to crash - the irony...) |
Don't ask me what the difference is between kanaric's method and this, because I don't see much, but that the former didn't work for me, and this does. *shrug*
