    • Use cabextract to extract files from downloaded file IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe

    Internet Explorer 7

    If you want to run Internet Explorer 6 with the rendering engine from version 7, follow the instructions, or use beta options of ies4windows script.

    Note: ies4linux is NOT supported by Wine.  Report bugs using their script to their maintainers.


     
    HOWTO - inprogress

    (Updated 2008-12-01)

    Attempting to install the IE7 requires the following to start up:

    wget -c  http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

    sh winetricks volnum

    The installer will progress a bit further but fail when it cannot download updates and then quits.

    Regression?
    by doh123 on Thursday August 6th 2009, 7:43
    I haven't fully tested every version of Wine that I need to..

    Wine 1.1.21 and earlier seem to work ok in IE7

    Wine 1.1.24 through 1.1.26 (current) do NOT anymore (I have not tested 22 or 23). There are pages that have stopped working. I have not figure out what content on a website is causing this, but one such website that works in 1.1.21 that no longer works is www.champions-online.com

    wine 1.1.15
    by jim burns on Sunday February 15th 2009, 15:01
    1.1.15 boasts being able to run ie7 (see latest wwn #356), and indeed it installs and runs, but requires a little tweaking.

    First, I set global dlloverrides for mshtml, shlwapi, shdocvw, wininet, urlmon and actxprxy dlls to "native,builtin". Since actxprxy is not installed automatically, I copied it over from my windows xp partition to my wine install. (It makes music.yahoo.com happier.)

    I also installed msxml vers. 3 & 4. (Makes yahoo and windows update happier, tho' windows update is still not functional - see below about active x.) Be sure to set msxml to "native,builtin" also.

    Initially tabs weren't working, nor was I getting all of my toolbars. The first time I installed ie7, I did not pick installing updates and the Malicious Software Removal Tool. The 2nd time, I did leave that checkbox checked, and I got the tabs and toolbars to work.

    My main problems now is I have no popups, flash, or anything requiring active x. When I get to any web page that tries to install an active x control, after clicking thru a few popup messages, I get the information bar (under the toolbars) complaining that my security settings don't allow running the control. When I go into Internet Options -> Security, and try to set the security level to Medium, or try to pick Custom, and relax all the active x options, it still doesn't work.

    All in all, at least navigation works, and 1.1.15 shows definite improvement.

    Btw, for those interested in that Cryptographic Service not running error message box, you probably have too many native overrides. According to support.microsoft.com/kb/822798/ , the dlls associated with the cryptographic service are softpub, wintrust, initpki, dssenh, rsaenh, gpkcsp, sccbase, slbcsp, mssip32, & cryptdlg. Most of these have been already implemented as builtin dlls.
