--- Comment #5 from Simon Simon80@gmail.com 2008-04-27 23:25:53 --- I just tested this using wine 0.9.36 [1], and it doesn't work either, though in this version, iexplore pops up a message box saying that winehq.org couldn't be found, which it doesn't do in the latest version. However, Steam does also pop up a message box in the latest version. While I haven't tried running iexplore in wine on a 32-bit kernel, I did use Steam, and the embedded browser used to work. Perhaps this is a 64-bit related issue.
