[Wine] Internet Explorer 6 Setup & App DB
Stefan Leichter
some time ago (around 7. May 2006) there was a coment in the App DB to get the
setup of Internet Explorer 6 working. The Coment was about removing some dll
names from the wine.inf file.
The coment was removed from the App DB, but the setup still fails for me with
current cvs (~2 hours ago).
Therefore i like two know two things:
- does anyone remember which lines needs to be removed from wine.inf
- When did the setup of Internet Explorer 6 work without removing the lines
after the 7. May? This might be a starting point for regression testing.
Please note: Im not interested in running the Internet Explorer, i interested
in the dlls, installed during the setup as a starting point for some other
installation tests. So don't talk to me about using native internet explorer
Thanks Stefan

The only thing you have to do to install IE6 is place a copy of native
inseng.dll in windows/system32 before running ie6setup. Then run
ie6setup with no dll overrides.

Never needed inseng.dll. I have all the cab file local here from a CD.
Starting with an emty .wine directory setting windows version to win98 gives
me a messagebox with:

I haven't tested any other method besides iesetup6.exe, so I can't
vouch for installing from a cd, but why are you setting version to
win98?

I tried that (in a fresh wine install) and it appeared to install...but I
could not figure out how to run IE6; so how do you do that? I couldn't find
the executable anywhere in .wine. What does it take to _actually_ run IE6
(assuming it really is there)?

This doesn't work for me either. It gets the setup
program to download the files (when set to win98) but
fails to actually install. This is the method I have
found works for me:
- Edit /usr/local/share/wine.inf and remove the
following lines:
11,,shlwapi.dll
10,,winhlp32.exe,winhelp.exe
11,,crypt32.dll
- Create a a fresh .wine directory. It is important
that you edit the .inf file first, as the wine.inf
file in .wine is generated using the file you edited.
I believe the file may sometimes be found in
/usr/share/wine/wine.inf as well.
- Change the Windows version to win98 using wincfg
- Use the following file to apply some DLL overrides:
http://www.bratch.co.uk/tempwhilethecovenisdead/ie6_overrides.reg
(run regedit ie6_overrides.reg to apply it)
- Install native DCOM98 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=08b1ac1b-7a11-43e8-b59d-0867f9bdda66&displaylang=en
- rm .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/regsvr32.exe
- Put native mfc40.dll in your
.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ directory. This isn't
needed for the install program to work, but after it
finishes copying files, it fails to load a .ocx file
with it. Get it from:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc40
- run ie6setup.exe, get it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en
- In the setup, choose a minimal install and uncheck
Internet Connect Wizard for the easiest results.
This is mostly taken from the howto on the AppDB page,
partly from a comment about wine.inf, and the .reg
file which I have rehosted was written by someone
else, but the file is no longer available on their
site.
I did all those instructions myself here, with a fresh
install of wine-0.9.14, so it should (hopefully) work.
Also worthy of note is that the default page
(www.msn.co.uk) for me, crashes when it tries to load.
I found that stopping it whilst it is still
downloading, and changing the home page to something
else fixes the problem, as most other pages seem to
load fine.

I don't know the answer to this question, because I'm only concerned
with having the ability to install IE6. I don't actually use IE6 in
wine. Most likely you'll have to use some set of dll overrides to run
IE6 (run, not install).

As I said I tried that method, it didn't work. I get
an error that it cannot download the server list when
I place native inseng.dll in system32.

OK, fair enough. I couldn't find any IE executable, so I wonder if it really
is installed? The proper question to ask might be 'how do I invoke IE
(native) in wine? And then fiddle about to get the MSIE (if it's really
there), which I don't mind doing myself. I can understand that the MSIE
itself might actually be a dll, so I figure If I can issue the right
command to wine, I can get it to load MSIE instead of native IE.
Thanks.

You should have an Internet Explorer executable. It's full path should
be ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE. If you
don't have this somewhere in your wine installation then Internet
Explorer did not install correctly. I do have this file but I am unable
to start native Internet Explorer even with the full path to it's
executable on the wine command line.

Well there's no such animal in the barn, so IE didn't install properly.
Maybe sometime. Anyway, there's the native IE for programs that demand it.
