Trigger Wine Gecko installation

Post by eduardomozart »

Hello,

I’d noticed that since WineHQ 6 it isn’t offering for dowloading and installing Wine Gecko during prefix creation. It only installs it when needed, as launching “wine iexplore” command triggers the installation. I would like to know if there’s any command to force it’s installation during wine prefix creation like before. I do not want to run msiexec to install it manually since I manage multiple prefix and I do not want to run Wine Internet Explorer to the end user. If there’s any way to run iexplore without the window be shown to the end user without relying on third party programs would be great.

A way to install Wine-Gecko is:

Code: Select all

# 32-bit Wine Gecko:
wine control appwiz.cpl install_gecko
# 64-bit Wine Gecko:
wine64 control appwiz.cpl install_gecko

# or
wine regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
wine64 regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
