[Bug 20392] New: Every non-web-browser I've run: Doesn't load web pages

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20392

Summary: Every non-web-browser I've run: Doesn't load web pages
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.31
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/try and
                    http://webapps.prod.there.com/download/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Programs include registration window of Game Maker 7 and the client for the
SecondLife-like game There

It is a problem for me because Game Maker 7, by YoYoGames, uses a web page to
facilitate registration. I think I know why it doesn't load. It uses internet
explorer as a back-end to load it and wine's internet explorer doesn't work for
it. And the actual Internet Explorer won't install because DriectX can't
install.

P.S. Don't ask me for the name of the game, the name of the game really is
There

Wine does however load web pages succesfully in the only windows web browser
I've used with the version of wine listed in this bug, which is Mozila FireFox.

Console log from running Game Maker and clicking on Enter Activation Code
button

Attaching a console log from running Game Maker and clicking on the Enter
Activation Code button. A new window opens with the message "Please wait while
the page is loading..." but the page never loads. This is in a clean
wineprefix, 1.1.31, gecko installed.

Installing IE6 with winetricks enables the page to load. I can't test beyond
that, as I don't have an activation code.

Internet explorer6 doesn't support the method used by the registration window
of game maker for changing the activation type. I am going to try install
Microsoft Cisual c++ 2008 redistibutable using winetricks and see if that'll
let me install internet explorer 7 or 8

Is this bug still present in wine-1.3.6?

Still present in 1.3.31 with both IE7 and IE8, haven't tested IE6.

This appears to have something to do with a lack of support for
XML/XSL/XHTML/whatever. I am mostly experiencing this problem with There which
uses XML extensively for its pages. Instead of loading the file within the
browser, it prompts to save the file without an extension and says "Unknown
File Type".

Thanks to a tip from the maintainer of the There entry on AppDB, the solution
appears to be to install MSXML 3 with the Wine architecture set to win32. I'm
not sure if that's the solution for Game Maker 7, but it works for There. I was
trying MSXML 4 before, which I mistakenly thought was meant to replace MSXML 3.
In the case of There, IE7 seems to be optimal since the map doesn't work in IE6
and IE8 is considerably slower.

export WINEARCH=win32
winetricks ie7
winetricks msxml3

I believe this means the bug can be marked as invalid.

This bug does seem a bit messy, so let's mark it invalid, but
please file new bugs for the individual problems.
