[Bug 3987] Mozilla ActiveX Control asks wine user for windows mozilla libs
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3987 michael.s.gilbert(a)gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|WONTFIX | ------- Additional Comments From michael.s.gilbert(a)gmail.com 2005-02-12 21:38 ------- i'm advocating automation. in order for wine to work optimally for the average user, she shouldn't have to know that a softlink is necessary to make the activex control work properly. she shouldn't even have to know what an activex control replacement is. she should just know that running 'wine <windows application>' installs her application and it works. she shouldn't have to jump through hoops about should i install this or that; should i click-through this or that. i mean most users will not know what installing an activex control really means. so statistically, 50% will say yes, and 50% will say no. hence, wine will not work as expected for 50% of the users, and they will say this software isn't useful because all they see is that their software of choice didn't work. i'm trying to provide the average user's perspective here. and i think this issue is too important to discard prematurely, so i am reopening. i'd hope to see this addressed before 1.0 as people will draw their final conclusions about wine once it hits 1.0. and it will be hard to sway them back after that. regards, mike -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
