Internet Explorer 6 in Wine-Doors

CrownAmbassador · 04-26-2008, 06:43 AM

I'm trying to install Internet Explorer 6 in Wine-Doors. I've done this before, but I installed Ubuntu Hardy yesterday and now i want to do it again. It installs and then says: "Reported 1 time: Installation failed: Installing Application: scrhst version 5 returned 512"

Anybody know what this is and how I can fix this please?

Seems to be an unresolved issue.

Are you sure this isn't "svchost"?

If you want IE6 to test web pages, then how about Windows in a VM?
If you want IE6 for browsing, you will get no sympathy.

No it is not svchost

Some people do not have a choice. I have to have Internet Explorer to use two websites. One being a website for my work.

Yeah. I used that before, but that seems to be a little slow. I'm actually busy looking into that again if I can't get any joy with Wine-Doors.

Ah, the old "if browser neq IE, then display "you must have IE" and nothing else", trick aye?

Is this an explicit deny in the actual page?

I take it you have tried several different browsers? I have known Opera to display sites that hate FF.

Thanks Simon,

I reported the website, even though it is a company website. After replying on your first post I tried the other one for the first time since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 and found that it is working in Firefox now. Opera doesn't work with the company website either.

I got IE4Linux installed and working.

Thanks for the help.

I don't bother with Wine-doors any more - it seems that only the things you want are broken, anything you don't want may work perfectly.

I just tried Warcraft 3, same error as yours.

You can install Firefox and Opera directly in wine, and for I.E. I would suggest you run Virtualbox and boot XP virtually - to be sure you're running a native environment with java and rendering as in XP (firefox and opera look a bit ugly under wine -rendering isn't native).
