Heya,
for me IE60 installs with a "fresh and clean" wine (CVS 11/11) and just
"ADVPACK.DLL" set to "native". I've tested it with WINE-Version Win98, 2000 and
XP. For Win98 I've done a minimalistic installation like Sidenet does, though.
But besides that I made my "own" (very sidenet-based) script to make things more
comfortable. The Sidenet-Registry (read: basic WINE configuration) appears to be
a bit more "making my stuff work", too. For instance, I just can't Regsvr32 a
native MSXML3.DLL with "standard" WINE. With sidenet it's working flawless.
