--- Comment #1 from Jake Thomas jthomas97411@yahoo.com 2011-12-25 03:17:14 CST --- Overlooked something: There is different behavior if IE has been installed or if IE has not been installed.
If IE has not been installed: Terminal output is not endless. No installer window appears. Complains about "fixme:ieframe..." among other things.
If I attempt to install IE8 via winetricks and then try to install carbonite: Terminal output seems endless. A very small installer "window" appears. It is just a bar, and it is sized such that the bar is all that is visible.You can resize it with the mouse, but it will be a blank white area, and your mouse disappears while it is over the space...or is it over the space, given it disappeared? Note: did not successfully install IE8, it crashes when I try to run IE8, but that is a separate bug.
