My Techno January 19th, 2008

Thanks to WINE, you can run Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Linux quite well by now. Techblogging shows us the instruction to install Internet Explorer 6 on Linux.

  • Get recent wine here.
  • Add a new user named “windows” to your system.
  • Use gksu -u windows xterm to open a shell as the windows user.
  • Download dcom98.com and ie6setup.exe, save them to /tmp.
  • Type the following commands:

cd ~
wget http://www.kievinfo.com/2/ie6_overrides….
wine regedit ie6_overrides.reg
wine /tmp/dcom98.exe
wine /tmp/ie6setup.exe
exit

Now, you can run IE by following command:

gksu -u windows wine C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE
