Internet Explorer 7.0 on wine in Ubuntu 10.04

Add the wine ppa
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

Install winetricks

Run:
winetricks ie7

I think you need to chose not to download latest updates for it to work

Thank you for update.

I have already checked this feature, ain't i get any solution.

Can you dig further and help me out...

You do not say why IE is mandatory. Have you tried Firefox with the extension: User Agent Switcher

It can pretend to be other browsers.

Can you run winetricks? Either in the terminal or through the menus?

This is what I found in Wine wiki

7.7. How do I install Internet Explorer in Wine?
If you just want an application to think you have IE installed, see My application won't run, and says it needs Internet Explorer above.
The Wine project does not support installing the real Internet Explorer, as it requires a huge number of native DLLs, which is hard to configure.
If you really need the real IE use winetricks. Set your fake Windows version to win2k and then select 'ie6' or 'ie7'. IE installed from winetricks is far from fully functional, but works well enough to, e.g., test web page rendering. Please do not ask the Wine project for help if you run in to problems.
You should put IE in a separate wineprefix, with whatever app really needs it.
You may also try commercial solutions, such as CrossOver and Bordeaux, but if you do so and run into problems, do not seek help on the forum/mailing list or IRC, as third party applications such as these are not supported here. }

And I even do have a concern, is your system a 64bit, since Wine while installing IE on 64bit got some issues. So may be that's the issue. And I believe Firefox works with whatever Sites you wish to open and its the best at present in Browsers so far.

The working solution i suggest is to install windows on a virtual pc installing and using virtualbox to have a plain IE working...

Thank you all.
I have checked all the solutions what all you guys have provided. I have tried by installing both Crossover and Bordeaux, and still same issue is persisting.
My system is 64-bit, on wine i have checked both 32-bit and 64-bit IE.
When i was digging deep in problem, i have checked out tools options of IE, in this IE is not detecting any intranet proxy settings in connections tab of tools; whenever i checked the proxy address tab, it automatically get unselected.

Can you all help me out in this, any further help is highly appreciated.

You didn't get what I said to you, Wine doesn't support fully 64bit version of IE. So that is the issue. So even you try anything, its the issue with Wine software. Not with downloading 64bit IE or using 32. It runs from Wine isn't? That should support 64 bit, which doesn't..

You can better try this, if you are so inclined using IE. But hardly anyone even in Windows use IE now. Everyone works with Firefox.

Thanks for the update Rohith.

The application in your provided link needs wine, i tried this but still results are same.
I hope there should be some configuration, which needs to be done in winecfg.

Can you help me out in this..???

Hello All,

After digging so much in winetricks, it is not showing any option to select 'ie6' OR 'ie7'

Any suggestion guys..

Via the GUI it is Select the default wineprefix -> Install a windows component -> ie6/7/8

You should probably start again with a clean wineprefix by deleting the hidden folder .wine in your home folder (this will remove anything you have installed there with wine)
