           Summary: ie6 installs now, but doesn't work...
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.15.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


I removed ~/.wine, and installed ie6 with exactly wine-0.9.15 plus 
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-June/027630.html
(careful, you have to run 'autoconf' after that patch).

The first time I tried running ie6setup.exe, I ran into bug 5409,
but just rerunning setup got me past the failure.
I was able to finish setup with only a few annoying warnings 
(I had to click 'ok' on one error box about copying a crl file).

But the resulting ie won't display anything.  Wine says
"Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled"
just as described here
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-June/048173.html
Installing the mozilla activex control helped, but at this
point a light went on, and I realized I'm still running Wine's builtin
iexplore.exe!

So I tried setting iexplore.exe and iexplore to 'native' with winecfg.
Oddly, that had no effect; I'm still getting a window titled
"Wine Internet Explorer" 
when I run wine iexplore.exe in 
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer
This is odd, given that I see
trace:module:load_dll Loaded module L"C:\\Program Files\\Internet
Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE" (native) at 0x400000

Setting shdocvw native didn't even get me a window; Wine complains
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {a5e46e3a-8849-11d1-9d8c-00c04fc99d61} not registered
(That uuid is identified as "Microsoft Browser Architecture" on a few sites,
for what it's worth.)

So, now that ie6 installs (yay), how are we supposed to use it?
