    Problem in Installing Internet Explorer

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install internet explorer in ubuntu. I followed the instructions in the community official documentation but still it's giving me error messages like my WINE is not the updated.

    I've already installed the latest version of Wine but still got those errors. I took a snapshot of the error(see attachment).

    Can somebody give me help on this? I really need to install IE because most of the sites that I need to go to works only on IE.

    Thanks.

    Don't use ies4linux it's not even being developed anymore. You can install the up to ie8 in wine using winetricks

    Open a terminal and type in winecfg. Click the About tab and post the wine version



    If you don't have 1.2 or 1.3 beta installed I'd recommend installing it. You can enable the repository and stay current by typing in

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
    in a terminal

    Why not consider installing a virtual environment to run Windows and then use IE there?

    I tried installing IE using winetricks but didn't get any success. I tried installing IE8 first but after installing it, it won't connect to the internet(message is that, it's still connecting... ). Even after 10 mins. the status is still connecting.

    I installed IE6 instead. The installation was successful but the problem is, I can't enter any text in it. I mean, if I tried opening my Gmail, I can't enter my username or my password. All that I can do is browse the web.

    Btw, my wine version is 1.3. (See the attachments). I also attached an error message I got during the IE installation.


    Rubi1200,

    Virtual environment on Ubuntu? 'havn't heard of this yet, but I'll give this one a shot....

    I'm not sure what the issues could be it was just a suggestion, I"m not really qualified to help troubleshoot wine. Hopefully my reply will at least bump your topic where someone who is qualified can help you. Also I will move this topic to the wine sub-forum hopefully you may see better support.


    Good Luck!
