How to upgrade internet explorer?

Hello,
I tried searching this site, but couldn't find anything that I understood as far as a solution. Quite often, when I try to install a program using Wine, I get an error that the version of IE is too old, and the install can't continue. How can I correct that?
Thank you

Try

Code: Select all

winetricks fakeie6

This will set the registry to claim that IE6 is installed. If the program is just looking for that registry entry, that will work. If it needs real IE, it won't.

Thanks. I just type that into the terminal, right?

Yes, assuming you have winetricks downloaded. Else,
$ wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks fakeie6

I was wondering, shouldn't winetricks be included in the wine packages by default? This way we can assume everyone has it.

I don't know about other distros, but OpenSUSE already does.
