Well, I'm spending my fun afternoon trying to get IE to install in Wine (it breaks in a new and interesting way every time I try this).
Before the patch, it didn't work, couldn't contact download sites. After the patch, it still doesn't work, and I get this fixme:
fixme:wininet:InternetReadFile This shouldn't be here! We don't support this kind of connection anymore. Must use NETCON functions, especially if using SSL
Which seems a bit of a bummer, if IE6 setup needs that type of connection I think we should still support it really......
I think the problem might be lack of proxy workingness. Am investigating now. Would be nice to lift proxy details from the http_proxy variable in future....
One last thing, the patch seemed to have a lot of whitespace no-ops, running diff with -bB should eliminate some.
thanks -mike
