Internet Explorer PDF Plugin

Post by netdrag »

Hello Guys,

first, thank you for wine, its great.

Currently I am trying to run a MS-HTML Application on wine....Everything is working fine, except one thing. The application needs to open a PDF in the browser.
I tried acrobat 6, foxy-reader and pdf viewer. They work if i open the PDF file with the program standalone, but don't if the program is embed in Internet Explorer.

Anyone got this up and running? Please help!!!

Why aren't you using wine-gecko instead of IE? It should work with regular adobe plugins.

No chance.

The app(html and javascript) is developed for the IE, or more precisley for mshta.exe which executes it with special rights... The biggest sh... I've ever seen, but that's how it is.

Any idea?

Can you print simple text documents with notepad?
