iexplore 5.5.

[KK singh]

hi,
I have tried ie5 installation on wine and failed, 
I am trying to find workarounds for not using IE.

Given a windows executable, can i detect which IE
dependent calls it is making ?

Or exactly what calls both direct api's and COM
Interfaces are successful if IE5.5 is installed and
fails otherwise.

any pointers shall be helpful to me...

Regards
-kks

PS: thanx for the earlier replies.

Hi KK,

I'm afraid it's not that simple, IE provides a lot of functionality,
it's not just the web browser control (though that is a large part of
it). IE also extends the shell system a lot for favourites, history etc
etc. Off the top of my head (got to go in a few mins, probably this list
is too short) it provides:

- MSHTML
- BROWSEUI (internal)
- SHDOCVW
- IPHLPAPI
- URLMON (url plugins)
- JSCRIPT

and a few other things, and of course that's all COM so you have to
watch for unknown class factory fixmes.....

thanks -mike
