Normally, (past 10 yrs) I would just use CXoffice which would install IExplorer with DirectX, ShockWave and Flash..
However as a New Arch user I see that I must use a Cxoffice Generic installer which requires that link pyhton2 to python.
As one who programs with python I need to have the /usr/bin/python links pointed to python3 & python2 to python 2.7
As per the Arch install...
...So I installed the Wine and Winetricks packages from the Arch repositories with pacman.
then I downloaded and installed Iexplorer installer.
Code: Select all
[sqlpython@bridgelinux ~]$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ie6 winetricks ie60Also as the Browser is Wine installed the IExplorer Does not hava a TOOLS selection in the Main Menu..CXoffice does install this.
Making modifications difficult.. how would I get that back?
I need IExplorer 6 for a few corporate sites that will not work with Firefox nor Chromium.
Further the sites have flash and javescript interaction probably ActiveX going on too..
.. These I have working fine with Slackware and Debian..
I would like this to work with Arch.. below is more system info..
Any help is appreciated
Thank You
