Elv13 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 delete the file and try again, you propably got a choppy internet connection. You can also install ie6 manually with wine, ie4linux is just a script that do it for you, but it is not hard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No success here, perhaps it's because my proxy here at work is blocking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elv13 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 you download the .exe and you click on it. It will ask you for many dependencies, that you will have to install manually too, but after few minute, it will work. You can also use winedoor, an other frontend.

You can also use winedoor, an other frontend. ies4linux is a .tar.gz (or compressed file). You have to extract it to reveal it's contents, that includes a .sh file (much like an .exe file). Once that is double clicked, it downloads the IE files and installs them. As stated above, it is really a script, as Linux doesn't use .exe files in that format.... You just have to already have installed wine and cabextract through Synaptic (or apt). No success here, perhaps it's because my proxy here at work is blocking it? Well, it installed without a hitch here :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For any enterprise that has Linux-based desktops in it, there usually isn't, bewcause they have made a conscious decision to avoid Microsoft products, for whatever reason.)

I know, I tried it last years, but it is buggy and rarely work fine. Winedoor is stronger and do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
