Changed IE6 install script to run IE6 completely out-of-box

As mentioned in WWN #250 :

install some proprietary DLL's. Specifically, DCOM98, MFC 4.0,

these completely out of the box. However, you can run them.

I changed the install script a bit and it does not depend on DCOM98,
MFC4.0, etc... anymore.
So, you can run IE6 completely out-of-box.

New script is here :

Quick tip: if you grab the IEBATCH file from my IE installer script:

http://bylands.dur.ac.uk/~mh/wine-ie

and put it in your script then the IE installer won't prompt the user for
any information when installing. This is good as not all the things it
would otherwise install work yet. Also it makes it a fully automatic
hands-free install which I quite like.

Thank you for your advice.
OK, I've implemented fully-automated install option in my script using 
iebatch.txt from your script.
I also included some workarounds and ie6 can be installed with default 
option.
http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/files/wine-config-sidenet-1.6.0.tgz

Also, there are another two new features :
Internet Explorer setup can be downloaded during install.
Multi language support started.

Cool! If you don't mind then I'll retire my IE installer script (it's 
not maintained anyway) and just point my page to yours.

I think there is no probrem.

Note that I've made really stypid mistake in version 1.6.0.
I'd fixed it immidiately. Please use the latest version :

Your script is very, very good, i love it. Did I already mention that it
is very good? :-)

I offer you to translate it into german language.

With it I was able using IE for the first time (don't know if this is
great too...).

Only two problems left:
- Can't get sound working with arts. Personally I don't understand
really which of the config files I have to manipulate.
- The MSI installer doesn't seem to work. Says something about wrong
syntax when installing msi files.

Best Regards, Thank you very much :)

IMO this could get the new wineinstaller.

Was my fault. I forgot to install some dev packages on my new machine.
