Has anyone tried to intall CoolNovo with Wine?

I once tried it, but it strangely failed, saying that an executable file is not found. So I went into my Wine C drive folder, and really, no file related to CoolNovo was there to be found.

Does anyone have an idea about what was wrong with my attempt to install CoolNovo? I would really appreciate your help if you also try it yourself and tell me the correct way to install it. I am actually very new to Wine, and currently have no idea on what is going on.

Linux or Mac?

For Mac.

Why not Chromium itself (available for OS/X) or Google Chrome?
Is there any meaningful differences?

Seems It requires native advapi32.dll...

Some dlls in Wine cannot be replaced with native, advapi32.dll is among them

I need it primarily because I need CoolNovo's IE tab function.

I once installed IE7 itself on Mac with Wine, but it had several problems, so I didn't quite find it useful (For example, it does not show any webpage whose url begins with https://, and does not show the notifying message at the top of the window) So I was just wondering whether it would be better to use CoolNovo's IE tab function instead.

I need this to cope with my bank account. The online system for my bank is based on active x. I installed the active x software itself already, but the IE7 does not let me proceed as the online system is also based on https://. I am tired of borrowing my roommate's Toshiba every time I need to handle my bank account.

Firefox has a plugin "IE tab plus", maybe it will work under Wine?

And what IE are you expecting to see there? Wine's default "IE" is based on ... gecko aka Firefox.

I dunno about expectations, but Mozilla opens https in Wine

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/d ... lang=en-US

try open the site with it:

Though, Wine's IE also do this... (with Gecko installed, sure)

Ok. Maybe the solution is to install Mozilla Firefox.

I've made new Ubuntu installation to some PC and get Opera. Walked to the https://launchpad.net, and no site content appears, just white screen. Then installed Firefox, and entered the site, easy.
