So for kicks I decided to install MSIE6 on WINE. Issue is, whenever I try to run IE, I get this message:

Upon clicking Install, the message disappears and that is that. IE renders a blank white window. Any workarounds? I've heard of IE working on WINE before...

I could be wrong. I belive you may need some DLL's and may be a DCOM.EXE file. I loaded Office 2000 yesterday and thats what i needed me to load. It all so loaded some part of IE as well. I have to look up that part in the book tomorrow.

You need DCOM.EXE this site sould help

Gecko not recognised: the cabs have to be downloaded and copied to /usr/share/wine/gecko note a different cab version is needed for each version of wine. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

If your distribution of Wine doesn't put the .cab file in the right place for you, you can avoid problems by putting it there yourself as follows:

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/win...-1.0.0-x86.cab
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/gecko
$ sudo mv wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab /usr/share/wine/gecko/

The above information is accurate for wine-1.1.27 or later. Older version of Wine use other Gecko versions:


wine-0.9.47 - wine-1.1.11


wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab

wine-1.1.12 - wine-1.1.14


wine_gecko-0.9.0.cab

wine-1.1.15 - wine-1.1.26


wine_gecko-0.9.1.cab

wine-1.1.27 - current


wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab

If you installed Wine in some $prefix rather than /usr, it will look in $prefix/share/wine/gecko/ instead of /usr/share/wine/gecko. e.g. if you installed it from source, then the default-path is /usr/local/share/wine/gecko.
