Tried installing IE6 again, got a bit further this time with half the download/install complete. Then it froze again. Here is somewhat better terminal output: sebastian@sebastian-laptop:~$ sh winetricks Executing /usr/bin/cabextract --directory=/home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp /home/sebastian/.winetrickscache/InstMsiA.exe Extracting cabinet: /home/sebastian/.winetrickscache/InstMsiA.exe extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msi.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msiexec.exe extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msihnd.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msisip.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msimsg.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msimain.sdb extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msiinst.exe extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/riched20.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/usp10.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/msls31.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/shfolder.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/instmsi.msi extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/imagehlp.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/cabinet.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/mspatcha.dll extracting /home/sebastian/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/sdbapi.dll All done, no errors.
