Hi.
I am really annoyed at this program.
I have the NEWEST version of wine and it won't let me install.
Anybody know how to get this fix and how to get 0.9x?

Ask the folks who produce IE4Linux instead of wine.

It says the most recent version of WINE!
Do you know how to get 0.9x?

ies4linux appears to have not been updated since 2008.

There is however ie6 and ie7 in winetricks.

Third party apps are not supported here. This forum is for plain Wine.

As to how to get such an old version of Wine, if you're using a distro that's equally old, you might find pre-1.0 Wine packages archived somewhere. If not, you'll have to build it yourself, and it might not build at all on a newer distro.

If you really need IE, I'd recommend using winetricks to install it, as John suggested.

I think it is time to drop IE 6 support from Winetricks as well. Some
sites actually tell you to upgrade to at least IE 7.

I didn't have much luck with ie7 last time I tried it
(it wouldn't install in winetricks?), so ie6 probably
has to stay for a while yet.

Ok. Be aware that there are attempts to 'bury' IE6.

I actually like using FireFox instead....

I'm all for that. The sooner the better. But it will be inconvenient
if it breaks some Windows apps on Wine.
