Summary: Mozilla ActiveX Control asks wine user for windows
mozilla libs
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.2.
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-binary
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: michael.s.gilbert at gmail.com
The newest versions of wine ask the user if they would like to install the
mozilla activex control when an application makes calls to ie, which is a good
thing. However, during the installation, the installer asks the user where the
"Mozilla layout libraries" are. This is very confusing for joe user. I mean
what is a layout library anyway, and how would i find this? I think it means
that i should have the windows version of mozilla already installed, and i
should direct the installer to one of the directories in that installation, but
which one, i don't know.
I can select "z:\usr\bin" where the Linux binary is located, but this doesn't
work, so I know that my choice was wrong. But what is the right choice?
Anyway, I think that the Mozilla Control installation should always proceed
without any user intervention. Most users will want this without a doubt, and
those that click "no" will wonder why their application does not work. Could
the mozilla control be included as a part of the wine core so that everything
just works? This is all free software, so it should be doable, right?
Thanks for all your hard work on wine. This would be a nice feature that would
benefit a lot of applications like steam.
Regards,
Mike
