Summary: ie6 installs now, but doesn't work... Product: Wine Version: 0.9.15. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
I removed ~/.wine, and installed ie6 with exactly wine-0.9.15 plus http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-June/027630.html (careful, you have to run 'autoconf' after that patch).
The first time I tried running ie6setup.exe, I ran into bug 5409, but just rerunning setup got me past the failure. I was able to finish setup with only a few annoying warnings (I had to click 'ok' on one error box about copying a crl file).
But the resulting ie won't display anything. Wine says "Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled" just as described here http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-June/048173.html Installing the mozilla activex control helped, but at this point a light went on, and I realized I'm still running Wine's builtin iexplore.exe!
So I tried setting iexplore.exe and iexplore to 'native' with winecfg. Oddly, that had no effect; I'm still getting a window titled "Wine Internet Explorer" when I run wine iexplore.exe in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer This is odd, given that I see trace:module:load_dll Loaded module L"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" (native) at 0x400000
Setting shdocvw native didn't even get me a window; Wine complains err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {a5e46e3a-8849-11d1-9d8c-00c04fc99d61} not registered (That uuid is identified as "Microsoft Browser Architecture" on a few sites, for what it's worth.)
So, now that ie6 installs (yay), how are we supposed to use it?
