My way requires only ONE command if user have ies4linux (correctly) installed. Your way needs a lot more commands (in order to really work in this particular case), hacking of ies4linux script (otherwise it will install everything before you have a chance to install something with clean wine), destroys normal .wine directory (I see no point in this step, better to use WINEPREFIX environment variable pointing to ies4linux installation but this will not work because msjava needs to be installed with clean WINEPREFIX - and this is exactly why user ask help here) and require full reinstallation of ies4linux and all programs in special sequence, i.e. msjava cannot be installed after ies4linux installation. And there is not possibility to add more programs via clean WINE to ies4linux installation so this way doesn't worth an effort. My script give such possibility, and it is just a matter of just one simple command (if ies4linux correctly installed in home directory). As I have noted before in my messages, there is other alternative way availabe (and I described it) but it requires some manual work (in fact ANY alternative to my script, reliable or not will require advanced manual actions - and this is exactly why I have created this script: in order to make everything simple and automatic). _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
