MSHTML fails to draw

MSHTML.DLL fails to draw on native Windows XP installation

Details:
Compiling environment: Kubuntu 8.0.4.2
WINE version: 1.1.21
Compiler: MinGW

I've uploaded the file if anyone wants to test it themselves and see if they can diagnose the problem

MSHTML-win32.tar.bz2 - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dzy22kqmknn

(remember to back up mshtml.dll)

Wine DLLs do not usually work out of the box in an actual Windows installation...

shoot

any idea of how much work it would take to get mshmtl.dll working on windows? I was thinking perhaps a C++ toolkit compile using windows headers might make it draw right

i shot jacek (the maintainer of the wine_gecko package) a message to see what kind of work would be involved in getting a drop-in mshtml.dll replacement compiled

Did you install wine_gecko as well?

yes mshtml looks in the registry for GeckoCabDir or GeckoUrl key entries so if you add one it automatically installs to c_drive\windows\gecko\

I had to look in mshtml.dll:install.c to find this out, else all i got after installing the dll is "HTML Rendering is Currently Disabled" in IE (that means mshtml can't find gecko)

Sounds like it would work in Windows but still has problems somewhere - sorry to have been misleading!
