          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

This is working in Wine 0.9.48.
Installator of IE6 says just after start, that newer version of IE is
installed, and doesen't allow to follow installation.
This is caused by too hi version of IE in registry
(Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version) - the version in Wine is
6.0.2900.2180 while the version of IE6SP2 is 6.0.2800.1106 (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_explorer_6#Extended for information about
versions). If the version is set lower, than 6.0.2800.1106, the installator
starts normally.
(I hope, that no regression testing is needed as the cause is clear)

It's not really intended to run Internet Explorer in wine. It breaks a lot of
wine functionality and creates a big mess. If you must run actual IE, use
IEs4linux (unsupported here), if your app needs it, use wine gecko.

OK, I will write new HOWTO which will use different WINEPREFIX and explaining
this on Appdb.
If the version is lowered just a little bit, the installation is working (so I
believe, that nothing will be broken by slightly different version), but maybe
it should be leaved as protection from subliminal installation.

I made new howto, and also warning on the Appdb, so I think that this bug could
be closed as invalid.
