Attempting to run IE6 under Wine on Redhat 9

[Paul Older]

Hi,

I have not used Wine before but I am very much hoping to get IE6 running under Redhat 9.

I am using a dual boot Sony Vaio laptop which, after my tampering, is about 50/50 Windows XP and Redhat 9.

I have a FAT32 partition which is shared by both OS's.

I am given hope that it may be possible to get IE6 working to some extent by the following page:

http://www.winecentric.com/wiki/index.php?Microsoft%20Internet%20Explorer%206

Under XP I copied the IE6 exe to the shared partition and then rebooted into Linux.

Is this the general idea, rather than trying to "setup" IE in some way?

I then ran:

	LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 wine /shared/iexplore.exe

and am given the following error:

	err:module:import_dll Module (file) SHLWAPI.dll (which is needed by Z:\iexplore.exe) not found.

Is anyone able to give me any pointers on resolving this.

I have included my filtered Wine config at the end of this mail.

The reason for wishing to run Internet Explorer is because as a web developer I wish to test my output in main stream browsers.

A locate for the offending DLL gives the following:

$ locate shlwapi.dll
/home/paulo/wine-20030618/dlls/shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.dbg.c
/home/paulo/wine-20030618/dlls/shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.dbg.o
/home/paulo/wine-20030618/dlls/shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.tmp.o
/home/paulo/wine-20030618/dlls/shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.so
/home/paulo/wine-20030618/dlls/shlwapi.dll.so
/usr/local/lib/wine/shlwapi.dll.so


Also is there a way to search the winehq mail archives other than via google? I have found the archives (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/) but given that they are not compressed into one large downloadable file I am not sure of the best way to search them.  

Thanks for your time,

Paul
