This breaks installation of real IE. Setting version to IE 5.5 would
give the users a chance to install at least version 6.0.
BTW, you should fix the typo in the third line.

The program I put this in for was msn messenger 7.0, which requires ie
6.0 to work. With this msn works fine, but this brings up a bigger question.
Should we require that people install Internet Explorer or should we put
in patches that increase application compatibility with vanilla wine?
Personally I favor to put this patch in, and let people that want to
install native internet explorer to change these strings through
registry modifying. I feel that we shouldn't need to rely on something
that needs a windows license in order for programs to work under wine.

I don't know why we would require people to install IE, when we have a
replacement for it already.

Oh, sorry - I mis-read that part. You're right - wine should not rely on windows base
components at all.

Web designers - to see what their pages look like in
IE. But they could also install IE 7.
As been mentioned before this argument is invalid. Native IE does not and will
not behave like on real windows. Thus rendering any such tests invalid.

IE running in Wine still allows me to view sites that don't display

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet

...IE6SP1 from microsoft.com still installs. So that would let programs
that use these keys to detect the IE version to find an IE6 but also
allow users to install MS' IE6.
