How do I use Internet Explorer 6.0 in Wine 1.1.3

Post by blacktulipgirl »

Hi I just installed Wine 1.1.3 a couple of days ago, on my Acer Aspire 3623 Laptop (256MB and 40G HD) running PuppyLinux 4.0 OS. I installed Wine because I am taking an online math course at college and it needs a Windows OS and Internet Explorer 6.0 to run.

Then I installed Internet Exlorer using the "Add Application" button in Wine Config:

Hmmm...
