Hi Hans,

Nice work! However, it does not work properly on my setup (Ubuntu
Intrepid). Running:

    $ ./wine ~/Desktop/IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe
    $ ./wine "c:\\program files\\internet explorer\\iexplore.exe"

on a clean wineprefix with today's git, it installs (but seems to be
too quick!) and runs, but it complains about "Cannot find '%ws'."
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17136) and doesn't show
anything in the browser window.

I also get the same issue as
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12433. Note that this is with
no overrides, winetricks or anything else.

Did you do anything special to get IE7 working (apart from wading
through the bugs you found)?

Thanks,
- Reece
