Has anybody on the list gotten IE to work under a normal wine install?
Is it possible to get different versions to work under different install
directories (this would be IDEAL!)? Would you be willing to give me some
pointers?
Okay: from somewhere deep down in my memory:
- Get a IE5 complete setup from somewhere (I got it of the Office2000
CD's).
- run 'wine DCOM98.EXE' (can be found on MS site somewhere)
- run 'wine WINSOCK2.EXE' (can also be found on MS site somewhere)
- run 'wine IE5SETUP.EXE' and select the typical installation
Wine will crash a couple of times, but just keep repeating the last step
until it's finally installed. After that, I even ended up with a nice
little shortcut on my desktop to IE (with nautilus that is).
After that, it's possible to upgrade to IE6. Installing IE6 from scratch
is not possible (at least I haven't found out how yet), it gives you an
error that it needs at least win98.
And, like some other user mentioned here, your fonts will look ugly, but
there might be some tweaking possible. I just did it to show someone you
can run (some) win32 programs with linux.
Have fun!
