Yes, you are right. I meant iexplore.exe.

I had slightly better luck now. When I create a new .wine directory by 
winecfg, if I set OS emulation to Windows 2000 (the default was Windows 
XP), I could actually get IE6 completely installed (at least appearantly 
complete). But I still couldn't run it!

When I run iexplore.exe, it always show my a completely blank IE6 
window, and pop up saying that it needs "Wine Gecko Installer." But even 
if I press the "Download" button, nothing happens, and the IE6 window 
remained empty.

After a little bit of searching, I tried installed Mozilla ActiveX 
Control. This time round, IE6 no longer ask me to download "Wine Gecko 
Installer," but still, the IE window is completely blank.

Appearantly, most people didn't have any problem installing IE6 from the 
installer. But I just wonder if there is anything so peculiar about my 
system (Ubuntu Edgy, completely new installation, Wine 0.9.27 built from 
source)... It's been really a pain these few days while I was trying all 
sorts of methods trying to get IE installed... *sigh*

Cheers,
