Ah, I will look for the other list and sign up there too. I am a user but I hope to be a developer too when I start understanding more. I think Wine is the most important project

Hi people!
I am a bit confused by the appdb entries for Internet Explorer 6 (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=469).
There's a bug
linked in one of the posts that seems to indicated IE does not work and that's expected.
Is IE6 supposed to work in Wine1 or is it a known not-working program?
No it's not supposed to work in Wine. Wine has it's own IE replacement. And all effort goes towards making that 100% drop in replacement in all cases.
If you still want to use native IE - use programs such as ies4linux to install it _outside_ default WINEPREFIX. However don't bother reporting any problems with IEs ran that way. As lots of Wine libraries being replaced with natives. Such configurations are not supported.
Can the appdb entry be cleared out and replaced with this info? Gecko does not seem to provide OLE embedding, as used by TopStyle (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4609)
