I would suggest try to reinstall IEs4linux

First Remove ies4linux, do the following in your home directory or from where you are trying to run ies4linux

rm .ies4linux

rm bin/

After removing ies4linux and now you need to install ies4linux.

hope this helps

This error that occurred:
/usr/bin/wineprefixcreate: line 174: wineserver: command not found
Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed. Maybe you are running an old Wine version. Try to update it to the latest version.

How resolve?

You’ve just saved me a huge amount of time and likely headaches. I run ubuntu, but have to work with Microsoft and most (if not all) their sites require IE. I’ve been looking a virtual machines to get the pre-existing xp partition that came on the machine running as a virtual guest, but was having problems. The only thing I really needed was IE, so this is absolutely perfect. Thanks very much for this!

Hi,
I am having a problem trying to install ubuntu linux on my Windows 98 laptop. First I get a screen that says:
No Eithernet Card Detected, but a FireWire Interface is present. It’s possible, though unlikely, that with the right FireWire hardware connected to it, this could be your primary Eithernet interface. Do you intend to use FireWire Ethernet? YES/NO

Then, regardless of if I choose YES or No, I get this error:

! Confifure the Network
No Netword Interfaces Detected
No netword interfaces were found. The installation system was unable to find a network device.
You may need to load a specific module for your network interface card if you have one. For this go back to the network hardware detection step. GO BACK/CONTINUE

If I go back I get the same errors all over again. If I continue the computer tries to start up the partitioner and gets stuck at 52%

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!

Installed IE6 on Suse 10.2 within few time.

Great stuff, works perfectly BUT:

Font support is messy, font’s to big, font weight not precise…

There my question:

Is it the interpretation of the IE which is failing, or the missing windows fonts on Linux?

All in all… great stuff guys. Thanks for this one!
Your work was great!

Installed it, but I am having a small problem. I need IE for one website, which requires IE, and Java to run. When I run IE (using Ubuntu 6.06), and log into the webisite I need to use, it keeps trying to install JRE 1.4.2_12. If I let it, it seems to complete, then just sits there. Am I missing something? If this is a dumb question, I am very new to linux, having converted only about 2 weeks ago.

Just used your script to use IE on Ubuntu for some website testing.
Worked great first time – many thanks!

I needed to reinstall Wine fresh and clean. Then I installed ies4linux as separate user and it works extreme well now. Thx

Tried to set it, face the problem that the program does not find any valid Internet connection! Internet connection works fine in Ubuntu, but not under wine! Installed several Windows programs that do not need Internet and those work fine. But any attempt to get an upgrade or to access Internet via a wine based program tells me that I have no Internet connection. How to enable Wine to allow Internet connection?
Any advise welcome.

Hi!
Thanks for making ies4linux. I’ll tell my boss to donate some doe .
I’ve got a small problem which I was wondering if anyone could help me with. If I try to add favorites IE6 crashes with the following:

err:pidl:_ILSimpleGetText — no text
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0×7bffe8a0 “changenotify.c: SHELL32_ChangenotifyCS” wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 0019, retrying (60 sec)
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0×4b
fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub
wine: Critical section 7bffe8a0 wait failed at address 0×7efaddf0 (thread 0009), starting debugger…
WineDbg starting on pid 0×8
Unhandled exception: wait failed on critical section 0×7bffe8a0
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0×7efaddf0

Any idea what’s causing this? I’m running ubuntu 6.10.

But is IEsforLinux accurate? At http://www.plockton.com, I know that the search/go button is on the right of the field in Windows IE6. With IEsforLinux (Edgy Ubuntu) it’s below. If I can’t rrust it to render exactly, what’s the point? (I have MS Core Fonts installed.)

I am new to Linux and use Ubuntu, but I get this error when trying to install the things you wrote. ‘Could not mark all packages…..’
Apart from this, it is very difficult to install this for a new user of Linux. Linux is not very user-friendly, so I hope I can continue to use it without having to understand evevything about computers

Thanks a lot – I hate having to run back and forth between my girlfriend’s windoze computer and the Debain Linux computer I actually do web design on.

Installed it on Ubuntu 6.06, works like a charm.
All I need still is a way to get IE4linux to play Media Player streams. My local TV stations only broadcast on the web in Windows Media Player format. Can’t get that to work in FireFox so am hoping to get it going through IE4linux.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Guus
