Summary: Internet Explorer 8 is non-functional
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: jesdisciple at gmail.com
Internet Explorer 8, in the best case I could attain, does nothing useful. The
single tab only says "Connecting..." Trying to visit a URL locks the window.
I tried several combinations, all of them with a special wine prefix. These
included:
* using a copy of a working IE7 prefix (the best case);
* installing IE7 first and doing everything required to get it working (the
second-best case);
* not installing IE7 but still doing everything required to get it working;
* installing IE8 without doing anything first.
(The "winetricks volnum" line suggesting in the AppDB entry seemed to be
irrelevant on my system.)
In the last case, a program error dialog ("the program has encountered a
serious error...") is displayed for services.exe and IE alerts "Cannot find
about:SecurityRisk'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."
However, the window itself behaves in exactly the same way regardless.
Two bronze tests were posted in the AppDB entry, so maybe I'm just missing
something those testers had.
If console output would be helpful, I can repeat the best case (or one of the
other three).
