[Wine] Can't install IE6

Hi all, just adding my 2 cents here. I checked this out on ubuntu 7.10
wine-0.9.58 and fedora 7 wine-0.9.59, fresh .wine directory and got
exactly the same behavior.

Not because I want to, but my wine user has a intranet site he has to
access for work which *only* works with IE, I tried mozilla and I tried
the wine "iexplore" with his site to no avail.

If you try the "quiet" switch when installing 

wine ie6setup.exe /q

it will allow the setup to continue, but unfortunately it failed for me
possibly because of connectivity issues, have a go and see what happens
for you.

I found the install file in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/
Internet Explorer/W2K/expinst.exe

which failed silently when I tried to execute it (even with
WINEDEBUG=-all), however I'm not sure that this is the correct file to
run, or even if the download was completely successful - it appeared so.

I found this bug id recently re-opened 

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5463

but it might be appropriate to open a new one, I'll whack the debug data
in there for now.

incidentally I found this line in the debug

datafixme:wintrust:CryptCATAdminAddCatalog 0xdeadbeef L"C:\\windows\
\msdownld.tmp\\AS099AD2.tmp\\mplay2u.CAT" L"mplay2u.CAT" 0

0xdeadbeef eh? niiiicee!!! :-) 

I'll try changing my wine to be W2K to see if that works.

ttfn
