Additional Comments
I tested both the Vista and XP versions of the installer. The Vista version extracts, but fails to run saying the computer needs to be updated, probably because Wine doesn't report Vista as having SP1. The XP version starts the installer fine, but it tries to download and run the Malicious software removal tool before it will install IE8. The installer fails to get the tool, so it "finishes" without installing IE8. The cancel button doesn't work there (no idea why- nothing shows up in the terminal), so I had to use CTRL-C to stop it.

Just keep trying to connect

I installed IE * using the method here: tinyurl.com/25sf4nb but it just opens (kind of squished) and just keeps trying to connect. I am using Ubuntu 10.4 and Wine v.1.2.2 (and later versions badly screw-up another program).

IE 8 install

Hello,
I got IE 8 to install and run but as others have pointed out here there are still allot of errors. I installed flash to and it worked fine, and renamed the jscript.dll in /system32 and set it as native and IE 8 installed a native dll.. The native dll seems to work better then the builtin dll at this time.
IE8 blocked

I clicked on the download link for IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe but upon running the installer it advises "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system."
Working except for JavaScript
by Cillian de Róiste on Tuesday May 5th 2009, 7:25
IE8 works pretty well for me except JavaScript doesn't work and it throws an error for some sites. I don't know why, others work fine. www.google.com gives the error "Internet Explorer couldn't download %ws" although www.jquery.com works fine.
I am using wine-1.1.20 (on Mandriva 2009.0) and went through the following steps:
Created a fresh ~/.wine
Ran winetricks and set the version to win2k and installed IE6.
Ran winetricks and set the version to winxp.
Installed IE7:
$ wine IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe
Installed IE8:
$ wine IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe
I think it installed the first time, but when I tried to run it, it threw an error. For no good reason I ran the installer again. After that it works fine (except it doesn't seem to run any JavaScript). I think it is very usable for testing layout issues.
