I tried this without many success: without DCOM98 many things work but
you might get errors during installations. Without IE6 almost no M$
software works or onyl installs. Firefox and the Control do work with
the WineTools setup but as the IEPatcher just brings up the debugger it
is mainly useless and you can not change apps like lauge to use the
Control instead of IE.
