How to DLL-Override?

Post by whatbug »

Hello,
I managed to successfully install Internet Explorer 8 in a WindowsXP 32bit environment. It works fine so far, except for FTP sites. I can't access them at all, IE prints an error as if the website isn't available.

So I have read about dll-overrides / that you can choose between native and wine dll's. I hope that this might solve this problem.

So how would I do this exactly in case of IE 8?
Thanks.

Failure to load ftp sites in either builtin or native IE is a known bug, and there doesn't appear to be a workaround. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29249

Regarding what overrides are needed for IE8, if you installed it with winetricks, winetricks added all the needed overrides. You can see them in winecfg. If you didn't use winetricks, read it to find out what overrides it sets. It's just a script and can be opened in any text editor.

Hmm, thats bad. Thanks for the info tho.

Yes, I installed it with winetricks, but I didn't saw these in the config. Will look again.
