Problems with IE 5.5 in latest WINE (20040716) and Franks Corner Tutorial
 

Hi,

With a fresh install of Linux and Wine, I attempted to install IE 5.5 using the following tutorial:
http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ie55

However, when I run wine IEXPLORE.EXE, no window shows up, and wine doesn't crash or anything. Running it with all debugging messages enabled gives the following:

First of all, there's this interesting error message:
Followed by a bunch of registry queries:
and it hangs right after the last wvsnprintfA.

Any idea how I can get this up and running? I'd much rather run IE 5.5 locally and in realtime than use a delayed pay-service like www.browsercam.com to view how my website looks in legacy browsers ;)

I used the CAB files from browsers.evolt.org for IE 5.5 SP2.

i'm sorry if i seem to be rude, but the whole point of using linux is to get away from using microsoft. mozilla is better, period. i even use mozilla firefox on my windows partition. it'll do everything that IE does, only better and safer. you can download it from www.mozilla.org.

also, read this. it's from US-CERT, part of the US Department of Homeland Security.
