HOWTO: Installing Internet Explorer 6 with wine

Mirrorball · Apprentice Joined: 25 Apr 2003 Posts: 235 Location: Brazil

If you already have IE installed, updating wine to 20050419 won't break anything as far as I can see. But I couldn't install IE on wine 20050419.

So why install this troublesome crock of shit?

IE for Linux makes as much sense as IE for Mac . Dump it.

If installation of some software says it needs IE it is just for dummies.

It probably just needs dcom . inet or shwdoc.dll .Run the app with debug and find out what it needs to stop it bleeting.

It seems unlikely that the underlying fs should affect sidenet. Do you have sufficient disk space to make a clone of you root under ext3?

If so , try booting to such a partition and see if the pb still exists.

Alternatively, make a temp /home partition on ext3 since I guess you are installing .wine on a user accound under /home

Check your /var/log to see if you can find some error info there.

Well if you want to check how others will see your web pages under windows I think you should really view them under windows not an emulation on a different system with different fonts and potencially other important differences.

It will speed up development however to be able to do at least a preliminary check using wine. I have a dual boot for just that reason.

Thanks for the link to the probs with R4 , I dont have my wine on R4 but I may have been tempted. I may still do it to see if I can reproduce the error, seems odd.

Thanks for the info.

I'm still curious as to if anyone got launch.yahoo.com working after a sucessful install of IE. call me retarded but this is the main reason I wanted IE on my system. IE works for me but it's a bit flaky and will crash quite frequently, but I have never gotten a website with active X controls to work (ie launch). Has anybody ever accomplished this?

Hi there

I just emerged the latest unstable wine-version (20050524; I wanted to give it a try again), but I struggle in the step where I have to run "wine ie6setup.exe" - this gives me an error message complaining about "not having the correct version of windows" or something like this...

Can anyone help?

thomas

Hi All;

How to get windows networking going inside WINE?
Outlook 2000 cannot see my exchange server even though I can ping it.

Hello!

Does successfully run Internet Explorer Setup on Wine 20050725?? Either I get a connection error when ie6setup wants to download the data or I get the error "Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all applications and try running Setup again.". I tried winetools and sidenet wine config, both do not work. Any ideas?

Wow, just got it to work. Used sidenet, but it failes. Then I got advpack.dll from the web, copied it to windows\system directory and started ie6setup manually. Now IE installs correctly for me (except something which I do not care about ;)[/quote]

Isn't there a native one that comes with WINE?
I didn't have to do that.
Weird.

Okay, I installed IE using the guide and sidenet. I first tried it by installing DCOM98, because I heard there were a few issues with the built-in DCOM libraries. However, the icons on IE are not there. So, I deleted .wine and c directories and started from scratch. This time I did not install the DCOM98 package, but the icons are still not there. Look HERE for a screenshot of what I mean.

The version of wine and use flags is:

Well, I tried MDAC, but it wouldn't even install. It came up with an error and had to back out of the installation. I had DCOM and the Installer installed. And IE is still doing that weird missing icon thing. -_-

One point of my view, to install internet explorer,
set LANG="en_US" because with LANG="de_DE" wine sidenet doesn't work right, due to the fact it looks for

I'm on amd 64, also needing ie6 to make sure websites work correctly on it, i did have it working about a month ago, but since then it stopped. It wouldn't connect to any webpages and theicons had all gone as others have described. So i dleeted th elot including my /wine dir and tried again from scratch but ie6setup.exe cant connect to the internet either, and so fails to dl the stuff it needs.

Anybody else having problems with wine apps not connecting to network?

winecfg also has these missing icons, i think its todo with some paths....

ok the icons problem is explaned here,
