Changed IE6 install script to run IE6 completely out-of-box
As mentioned in WWN #250 :
If you dissect the script you'll notice a lot of what it does is install some proprietary DLL's. Specifically, DCOM98, MFC 4.0, and Microsoft Installer. So yes, it's cheating and Wine isn't running these completely out of the box. However, you can run them.
I changed the install script a bit and it does not depend on DCOM98, MFC4.0, etc... anymore. So, you can run IE6 completely out-of-box. New script is here : http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/files/wine-config-sidenet-1.5.3.tgz

Quick tip: if you grab the IEBATCH file from my IE installer script: http://bylands.dur.ac.uk/~mh/wine-ie and put it in your script then the IE installer won't prompt the user for any information when installing. This is good as not all the things it would otherwise install work yet. Also it makes it a fully automatic hands-free install which I quite like. thanks -mike

Thank you for your advice. OK, I've implemented fully-automated install option in my script using iebatch.txt from your script. I also included some workarounds and ie6 can be installed with default option. http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/files/wine-config-sidenet-1.6.0.tgz Also, there are another two new features : Internet Explorer setup can be downloaded during install. Multi language support started.

Cool! If you don't mind then I'll retire my IE installer script (it's not maintained anyway) and just point my page to yours. thanks -mike

I think there is no probrem. Note that I've made really stypid mistake in version 1.6.0. I'd fixed it immidiately. Please use the latest version : http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/files/wine-config-sidenet-1.6.2.tgz

Your script is very, very good, i love it. Did I already mention that it is very good? :-) I offer you to translate it into german language. With it I was able using IE for the first time (don't know if this is great too...). Only two problems left: - Can't get sound working with arts. Personally I don't understand really which of the config files I have to manipulate. - The MSI installer doesn't seem to work. Says something about wrong syntax when installing msi files. Best Regards, Thank you very much :) Christian IMO this could get the new wineinstaller.
