             Bug #: 34131
           Summary: Back and Forward button greyed out in an .exe file ...
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: lawrencrj at GMail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


An e-book (*.exe) sent to me works fine in all respects in Wine 1.4.1 on Ubuntu
12.04 LTS except that the back button and forwward button that are "live" when
it is run in XP and in Windows 7 are "greyed out" on my Linux computer.   

NOTE this e-book is created by a compiler on Windows and there has been no
attempt to run that compiler under Wine on Ubuntu.  

Our problem is with the exec file that it creates.  When the HTML source files
from which the e-book was compiled are copied to my Linux computer, both Chrome
and Firefox run OK, and the back and forward buttons work -- but the e-book
that is compiled from them will not work unless a "back" link is "hardwired" as
part of each HTML to get back to the previous page to "mimic" the action that
should be accomplished with the back button.   The name of the program that
runs in XP and Win 7 to create the problem exec file is "Active E Book
compiler" (version 4.22) from "www.softpedia.com".  
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/E-Book/Active-E-Book-Compiler.shtml 

This compiler only works if Internet Explorer is installed on the the Widnows
computer that runs it.

A solution might be to take the source files and compile them with an e-book
compiler that will run under Linux (or at least under WINE).
