[Bug 18421] New: Installing Gecko

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18421

Summary: Installing Gecko
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mshtml
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Instructions for installing Gecko are at:
   http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

These state that Wine looks for it at /usr/share/wine/gecko.

After putting it there and trying several times I found that for my
distribution of Wine 1.1.20 the location is specified by an entry in
'user.reg'.

What does:
$ ls -al /usr/share/wine/gecko
show?

It's specified in user.reg as well, yes, but that's only used if
/usr/share/wine/gecko doesn't have it.

First I tried the instructions as described in the documentation above as:
 'sudo mv wine_gecko-0.9.1.cab /usr/share/wine/gecko/'

When I tried to run Wine it could not find VERSION file. I thought this was
probably wrong and that the cab file needed to be uncabbed. This I did in
/usr/share/wine/gecko/. Wine could still not find it.

I then found the entry in user.reg which pointed to C:\Program Files\gecko. I
have made this a soft link to /usr/share/wine/gecko and I can now start IE.

> The relevant bit of user.reg is:

> [Software\Wine\MSHTML\0.9.1] 1242244459
> "GeckoPath"="C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko"

These registries are strange and shouldn't exist. Do they exist on fresh wine
prefix? If yes, what distribution do you use?

Closing INVALID.
