Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works

  • Installation: install IE6 (eg. ies4linux), then IE8
  • Browsing
  • transparent PNGs ;-)
  • JavaScript


    • What does not

  • combining keys with in form fields, usually crashes the browser
  • Back- and Forward-buttons
  • combining keys with [ AltGr ] does not work in form fields, but works in the URL line
  • you can enter a URL in the URL line only once, [ Ctrl ] + L helps
  • File => New Tab creates a new tab, but that tab is dead; tabs cannot be closed, they will become stale
  • File => New Session works, New Window does not
  • Open link in new tab works, but sometimes crashes the concerned session
  • File => Exit has no effect, pkill iexplore.exe does


    • What was not tested

  • Flash plugin

    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).

    IE8 - Don't Install
    by Kalasi on Thursday January 6th 2011, 4:24
    ~$ winetricks ie8

    Download everything you need, start the installation process and gives an error:
    The program iesetup.ehe detected a serious error. The program will be closed. We apologize for any inconvenience. etc.

    According to the above instructions from the site www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/microsoft/internet-explorer-8-on-linux-with-wine.html on step

    ~$ wine IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe

    is the same :(

    Ubuntu 10.10, Wine 1.2.1

    IE 8 install
    by Tom on Friday November 6th 2009, 2:32
    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.

    Cheers,
    Tom

    IE8 blocked
    by Barry Schatz on Thursday June 11th 2009, 11:28
    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.
