Description

Avant Browser 10.1, build 40, works under Wine 0.9.10 with a few caveats. The 'Address:' bar jiggles (in both the View->Address Bar and 'Open a link' window). The 'Address:' bar has to be turned off (uncheck the View -> Address Bar checkbox) in order for the browser to start up fully. The up/down rail aren't properly painted, but you can navigate a 'cut-off' page with the up/down or page-up/page-down keys. But in general it works.

What works
Nothing -- IE can't be installed.  Therefore, AB can't work its magic.


What does not
Nada


What was not tested
Everything.  Couldn't get IE to install, so nothing for Avant to wrap.

Running Avant Browser 10.1, build <= 40, on pre-0.9.8 Wine versions

On versions of Wine prior to 0.9.8, the operation of the browser appears to work better if:

1) You start-up the browser with the following command:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES='ole32=n' wine c:\program files\avant browser\avant.exe

2) And turn-off the 'Address' bar (View->Address Bar).  Once you turn-off the 'Address' bar, the UI seems to start responding more correctly (not perfectly, but more correctly).


 
HOWTO

1. Install IE (ie4linux works for me).

2. Download and install the Avant Browser.

3. Change to the Avant Browser install directory (default location is C':Program FilesAvant Browser').

4. Start the browser:

wine avant.exe

(See Note above if you're using a pre-0.9.8 Wine version)

5. The browser will start and a splash screen will be displayed. It'll appear the browser has stopped.

6. Click the 'View' toolbar menuitem and uncheck the 'Address Bar' option.  If you can't see the toolbar, just click where the toolbar would be.  Eventually, you'll a toolbar menuitem, and the other ones should show.  Click 'View' and uncheck the 'Address Bar' option.

7. Things should start going then.
