After (more or less) installing IE6 on Wine, I tried installing the Platform SDK. Looks like their Setup.exe program invokes IE and some ActiveX control. And it looks like I don't know how to install the msi packages without their setup.exe (maybe someone else knows?).
This was with Wine-20040813, I think.
I'm trying to get a valid windows.h for use with cl out of this. I may punt and just use the windows.h that comes with wine -- it doesn't work off the bat, but maybe it's easier to fix (possibly by just adding some -D's to the commandline) than the real platform sdk install. - Dan
p.s. here's how I tried to install the Platform SDK
#!/bin/sh # Download and install Platform SDK # See # http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.public.vstudio.development/post27166... and # http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
set -ex
# Platform SDK for file in \ PSDK-FULL.1.cab PSDK-FULL.2.cab PSDK-FULL.3.cab PSDK-FULL.4.cab PSDK-FULL.5.cab PSDK-FULL.6.cab \ PSDK-FULL.7.cab PSDK-FULL.8.cab PSDK-FULL.9.cab PSDK-FULL.10.cab PSDK-FULL.11.cab PSDK-FULL.12.cab \ PSDK-FULL.13.cab ; do wget -c http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-u... done
# Extract. Requires 1.4 GB free space! # We could download Extract.exe from the above dir, and use wine to run it, but # may as well use the native command.
cabextract -d ~/.wine/c/psdk *.cab
# Install. Tries to invoke IE. Doesn't work for me... cd ~/.wine/c/psdk wine Setup.exe
# Directly install part of it. Doesn't work for me either; just chews CPU? cd setup wine msiexec /i CoreSDK-x86.msi
