Internet Explorer in Wine

[Detlef Riekenberg]

I test sometimes native IE in Wine with the least
possible changes.

With my implementation of shlwapi,SHCreateThreadRef
this week, the native IE UI came up in Wine,
using our shell replacement, mshtml with gecko
and all that low level stuff:

The related COM interfaces for the IE Style UI are
implemented in shdocvw (IWebBrowser and IInternetExplorer)
and browseui (for user elements: Menu, Addressbar)

You need to copy shdocvw.dll, browseui.dll and browselc.dll
to ~/.wine_drive_c/windows/system32/
and override shdocvw and browseui to native.
(native browseui.dll needs browselc.dll)

It works, but it's unstable and the Menu as well as the
Addressbar are absend (not registered in Wine).

register browseui.dll (or use regedit for minimal changes)

"Menu Band" CLSID: {5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972}
InProcServer32 is "%systemroot%\system32\browseui.dll" and
ThreadingModel is Apartment

"Address" has CLSID {01E04581-4EEE-11D0-BFE9-00AA005B4383}
InProcServer32 is "%systemroot%\system32\browseui.dll",
ThreadingModel is Apartment and Implemented Categories need
the subkey {00021492-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

(IE8 has still the full IE6 style UI available)

Happy testing, and don't forget to fill bugzilla.
