Internet Explorer 5.5 on wine (os version = "win2k")

[Lara Joy Francia]

Does anyone know how to install internet explorer 5.5
on Linux with wine (os version = win2k)? I already
tried installing ie5.5 on wine with os version as
win98 and it worked however, I need to set the os
version to win2k because it is the required os version
of the other application that I'm trying install on
wine. Thanks in advance.

You can set the Wine OS version per application.

Why not use the per-application version setting?

.wine/config:
[AppDefaults\sol.exe\Version]
"Windows" = "win2k"

(you might need to add such a version entry for several different
executable names which are used during the install)

This may have changed already due to the current move from the
config file into a special registry branch, but I think it's still
valid.

Or just try removing all forced Windows version values and let
Wine try to figure out good version values by itself (may work,
but may just as well fail, since it's a bit difficult to guess
reliably).

Good luck,
