I tried what you suggested. But, I can't get 1.1.34 to run with IE6. Or even with winetricks. I am using a Mac, and I believe that for a while there were oddities with Mac builds that have since been incorporated into the head. Perhaps 1.1.34 was not one that could be built and run as a standard simple build on a Mac? Just doing a simple wine command, causes a continuous stream of new instances, until I kill them all. For example, I wanted to try to use a clean "C" drive. So I did this: export WINEPREFIX=~/winetest env WINE=/Users/dersh/Programming/Wine_testing/wine-git/wine winetricks comctl32 and I get an ever increasing number of instances of wine. I believe that this was a known problem with older wine builds, on a mac, that have since been fixed. I had never built 1.1.34 before. Back then I was just using a binary.
