It is unfortunate but Internet Explorer is sometimes a necessary evil. I have some sites for classes which uses active X, and some which use Adobe Shockwave (come on guys updates your sites!) and thus every now and then you have to fire up IE on Linux. IEs4Linux makes this pretty simple and installs multiple versions of IE for you. Unfortunately if you are running Wine 1.x it will complain:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IEs4Linux 2 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x). It seems that you are using an old version. It&#8217;s recommended that you update your wine to the latest version (Go to: winehq.com). &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can circumvent this by ignoring the message, not using the GUI installer and just directly installing the versions you want:<\/p>\n<p>paracelsus@Callandor:~\/ies4linux-2.99.0.1&gt; .\/ies4linux &#8211;no-gui &#8211;install-ie7<\/p>\n<p>If you like you can also modify the functions.sh script in the lib\/ directory and alter the Wine version detection, see this post:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/ubuntuforums.org\/archive\/index.php\/t-886205.html<\/p>\n<p>In my case (Suse 11.1) I have not had much luck with IE7, I have however been able to get IE6 to function moderately well.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you have trouble with IEs4Linux you might just want to move you .wine directory and delete the .ies4linux directory and try again.<\/p>\n<p>A further option is to just skip IEs4Linux and install IE directly under wine.<br \/>\nThis site was helpful in this regards: http:\/\/www.gentoo-wiki.info\/HOWTO_Install_Internet_Explorer_6_SP1<\/p>\n<p>wget http:\/\/download.microsoft.com\/download\/ie6sp1\/finrel\/6_sp1\/W98NT42KMeXP\/EN-US\/ie6setup.exe<\/p>\n<p>paracelsus@Callandor:~&gt; wine ie6setup.exe \/c:&#8221;ie6wzd.exe \/d \/s:&#8221;&#8221;#E&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>paracelsus@Callandor:~&gt; wine ~\/.wine\/drive_c\/iexplor\/ie6setup.exe<\/p>\n<p>(Follow the additional steps at the Gentoo link as well.)<\/p>\n<p>If you have trouble installing Shockwave in IE, you can also find a stand alone Shockwave installer, and try that method. Dig around the Adobe site: http:\/\/kb2.adobe.com\/cps\/158\/tn_15895.html and you will eventually find the Shockwave insatller.\u00a0 With this method I was able to get a recent (11.x) Shockwave to work in IE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have posted before about IEs4Linux and what a good tool it is.
