Dear friends:

I am pleased to say that I successfully installed Internet Explorer Sp1 on my Linux (Scientific Linux 4.0, which is based on RHEL 4) using Wintools. After installing IE6, I thought installing WordView (the Word97 word view program) would be a snap. But instead Wintools failed to install it in several attempts. It started, downloaded the file and tried to install it. But at the end it informed me that the installation had failed. I checked the .wine directory just to make sure and, yes, WordView was not installed. I also tried to run it with "wine wordview". It's not installed.

With a current version of wine, the only problem I had with the WordView97 installer was that it would apparently get stuck "checking the installed files" or some such thing (I forget the exact message). I removed the z: symbolic link in ~/.wine/dosdevices, and the installer ran fine for me.
