Gecko installation broken?
Hi, Is my setup broken, or does the gecko installation fail? In a new wine prefix, when I open builtin iexplore, I get the installation dialog. The download runs successfully, but after installation iexplore still says that HTML rendering is currently disabled. When I run iexplore again, I again see the Wine Gecko installer dialog box. My hacky nightly game tests ran into this problem. The last successfull Team Fotress 2 test run is from May 14, 2009. After that my Gecko setup script failed and did not even try to start up Steam. Cheers, Stefan

Same problem here. Grr. Time for a regression test.

Only Oleview and Taskmanager use these macros in Wine tree. So can't be a cause I suppose.

It didn't think so either, so I even double checked. Upon further investigation, it seems the problem is simply the gecko cab download is failing. Either one of the Sourceforge servers is down/flaky, or source.winehq.org is taking too long to do the redirect and wininet doesn't handle that well.

That might explain why the HL2 test ran successfully yesterday, but not the TF2 test(which does the same Gecko setup). Today both failed again. On the other hand, it seems that the download succeeds - the progress bar runs to the end, and the dialog box says "installing" for about a second.

You could always do a local install, and avoid the problem altogether http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko. -- -Austin
