Known regressions affectiong IE++ remain unfixed?

[René Rebe]

Hi all,

I played a bit more with wine the last days and stumbled over this sidenet 
site which also has some FAQ points:

I experienced the same "IE installer crashing" with wine >= 200412xx - I 
wonder why such a long known regression takes so long to get fixed again. 
Currently the common way seems to be to install an over half a year old wine 
just to update it after the IE installation ...

Aside from that, keep up your good work!

Yours,
