------- Additional Comments From ice_cream_man_42099@yahoo.com 2006-17-09 01:17 ------- I found out that if you use "ies4linux" (which installs 4 ie versions) and a few steps Yahoo! Messenger 8 will install all the files including .exe's but still won't run.
Step taken are as follows:
Step 1:
download the ies4linux-2.0.3.tar.gz from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/download.html Keep in mind the version numbers may be different
put it in your home directory
Step 2:
'cd ~' 'tar -xf ies4linux-2.0.3.tar.gz' 'cd ies4linux-2.0.3' './ies4linux'
That will install it. Just keep all the default settings
Step 3:
Open up say konqueror and goto ~/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows Select all files and copy them. Then goto ~/.wine/drive_c/windows Now paste all the files and make sure you overwrite any existing. For some reason the subfolder 'syste,' didn't want to copy over so I had to go to ~/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/system and select all files and copy them. Then goto ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system and paste the files.
Step 4:
Finally goto yahoo.com and find a copy of yahoo~ Messenger 8 and copy it to where ever and then 'wine ~/whereEver/msgr8us.exe' and watch it install with WAY less warnings as before.
But it still doesn't run but at least it installs
