           Summary: Fake Internet Explorer information missing from registry
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: rmuncrief at comcast.net


I checked out todays git and when I tried to install Gecko it just appeared. I
figured it had been downloaded when I executed wineprefixcreate because it took
a few minutes to execute instead of a few seconds.

However, when I started my normal install procedure things started failing, and
I discovered it was because all the fake Internet Explorer information was
missing from the registry. Specifically msxml4 and .NET 2.0 crashed immediately
when I tried to install them so I figured there wasn't any use in continuing.
Many programs need to be faked into thinking IE is installed or they won't
install.

So it looks like the auto-Gecko download isn't entering the fake IE6 stuff when
installing. That is, if I'm correct is assuming Gecko is now auto downloaded.
In any case, all the IE stuff is missing in the registry for some reason.
