Applications that 'Require Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher'

[Forester]

What is one supposed to do with such applications ?

I understand from reading the FAQ that actuallty installing IE under Wine is frowned up. So I use Wine Gecko instead.

I've seen from Wine Bugzilla that the installation may go better if I install Windows Script first. I've used winetricks to install wsh56. There are several other choices. I've no idea how to choose between them. I've read that I'm wasting everyone's time submitting bug reports if I use native dlls. All I've done is install wsh56 - I'm still using builtin dlls.

What else should I do ?

What else might I try if my applications don't run before I waste folks time submitting bug reports ?

Many thanks. It didn't (appear to) help but it is nice to know that I've covered all the basics.

Some programs have some unusual ways how they check for IE. Try enabling warn+all channel to see if there is anything obvious.
