The only way I have been able to successfully install and run IE6 is with Mike Hearn's script which is available here:Hello,
Has anyone succeed to install Internet Explorer with wine-20041019 ? For what I have seen from winehq it should be possible but I have not succeeded. Which dlls and which config must I have ? I have tried with ie5 and ie6. I suspect I must have some native dlls but I do not know which and which config must I have.

I've had some problems using it "out of the box" and I don't think they've been addressed yet. The problem is with advpack.dll. (When doing any of the things that I suggest here, please realize that winedbg will start at least once if not four times. Let it do its thing and just <quit> at the end. The install will continue.) I THINK, without hacking the script, you can, in a console do the following:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,olepro32,oleaut32,rpcrt4, advpack=n" wineserver -k
If I'm right about <wineserver -k>--need help from people with more experience on this one--this will set the environment for the install. Of course, you'll have to import the ole* and rpcrt4 dll's. Advpack comes with IE6.
If this works, add the ole's, rpcrt4 and advpack to the AppDefaults for iexplore.exe that the script puts in the .wine/config file. And you should be good to go.
There's another "messier" way. Obtain a snapshot of wine before August 24, 2004. Install wine and use Mike's script to install IE6. Change the name of the .wine directory. For example, <mv .wine .wine-old>. Then uninstall wine and update to the most current snapshot you have. Install IE6--get past the debugger starting and also understand that it will not run. Then copy system.reg from .wine-old to the new .wine directory. You may also need to do the same thing to user.reg. Also don't remove the directory that the script makes from /tmp.
I've started to work on Mike's script so that this extra stuff isn't needed any more. It's going to be a while before it's done--I have a lot to learn. But in the meantime, I hope this works.
