HOWTO: Installing Internet Explorer 6 with wine

BlackB1rd · Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2004 2:06 pm Post subject:

I did install DCOM98. When I try to install the visual c++ runtime, I get the message above (Can not run Unicode....) and after applying OK, it gives the following error message: "Error registering the OCX: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\atl.dll".

Again, this file exists (lowercased as it says here). :roll:

I can't seem to get IE to install the zone software. MSN Gaming Zone.

I want to try to get it to run Asherons Call ;p

I followed the instructions exactly in the first post, but like several others get the output below followed by an abort when actually trying to run IE. I don't know where the Instalation path should be changed (I was going to try changing it from c:\\ to c:\). I looked arround the config file but didn't see it. So I thougth It might be in the actuall install dialoge. So I tried to re-run ie6setup.exe. Now I have debuging errors. What did I screw up?

when running IE

Nice howot. 2nd method worked (installing it directly) good.

But whenever it tries to open a new window/pop up.. It locks up, no error messages. Have to either kill it, or control-c on the console.
Kinda need pop-ups as a program i use needs them (trandumper)

ok I fixed the lockups. I think by editing my config. Tho it just worked after some reboots.

Other problems.. IE closes after a while for no reason. Think it just happens only when im idle for a bit..not long,, like 1min... Is that an option in wine?

Can't add favorites.. Says name cannot contain illegal characters.. Regardless of what i put in the box.

I didn't noticed that never 2004 version of wine needed another procedure sorry, so first i tried the whole procedure as in the thread start ... But now, it says that i ned to make sure that i'm connected to the internet, and then exits, when i start ie6setup.exe ..

Has anybody gotten IE6 working in Wine 20040408? Should I downgrade?

I haven't had any luck, I won't bore you with my problems if nobody else is running this newer version.

Thanks in advance!

After installing IE6 all goes well with no errors until I reboot wine I get this error and popup errors repeatedly. Any Ideas

I also get the same errors. I simply click OK and IE works.

When I ran wineboot it got to a certain point and would hang for a long, long time. I left it there and did other work, eventually it started giving me those same errors and finally finished booting. Just wait it out.

So IE is working for me...but are plug-ins supposed to be working? IE locks up everytime I try to view a page with a plug-in.

Ok, I cleaned up a bit in here. All the "Why IE" posts have been split off to this thread in OTW, feel free to add your opinions there. This, however is DT&T, and future posts to this thread trying to debate the sanity of installing IE in Wine will simply get deleted from now on (not because I'm evil, but because there's no possibility to merge threads or transfer individual posts between them). This HOWTO tells you how to, not why, 'kay? Thanks.

Greetings,

Anyone been successful with the latest version of wine from gentoo?

I figured that any inadequacies of earlier versions of wine would have been resolved, but ..

I emerged version 20040408, run thru the steps in this posting, and I get error messages similar to the other two debugs posted earlier.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

It worked for me using that WINE versions. The only trouble I had was that, as I said two posts up, it would hang at two different points: once during installation, the other during wineboot. If I cancelled out of wineboot, I got the debug error. If I cancelled out of the installation and tried again, I got the debug error. Is that similar to your problem?

Did anyone ever figure out why, or fix these?

Simply ignore these errors.

Are plug-ins working for everyone else?
