watch the spelling on the font business
Currently, Ubuntu 9.04 is:
/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts
Note: CAPITAL F in Fonts. don’t copy/paste the above without fixing.
Also, you may need to sudo chmod 777 * and
sudo chown username:username (or user:group) *
after you cd ~/.wine/…./Fonts folder

For the guy having trouble copying fonts, the above command is incorrect. you should change ‘fonts’ to read ‘Fonts’… then it should work :)

Ivan, try this instead: In the terminal, go to where you untared the ies4linux package. Run ies4linux with the following command:

./ies4linux –no-gui –beta-install-ie7

Please note that since installing IE7 on Linux is a ‘dirty hack’, it has some handicaps, like missing dialogs such as javascript:alert, Find (Ctrl+F) or Internet Options. If you need the whole help, use:

./ies4linux –full-help

Find more help on the IE7 install here:

@cyril8727: The target directory should be there if you have installed wine and run winecfg. If not, you have to check your wine installation again.

Hey, Safari’s installation is not working.
The fonts copying is giving me an error (that the target directory does not exist).

Also, when I run safari it is extremely slow, and then it crashes. do you know what the problem might be ?

Thanks for your reply,

I can’t seem to finish the IE 6.0 installation on my ubuntu.

IEs4Linux will:
– Install Internet Explorers: 6.0
– Using IE locale: EN-US
– Install everything at: /home/admin/.ies4linux
[ OK ]

Downloading everything we need
Downloading from microsoft.com:
DCOM98.EXE
mfc42.cab
249973USA8.exe
ADVAUTH.CAB
CRLUPD.CAB
HHUPD.CAB
IEDOM.CAB
IE_EXTRA.CAB
IE_S1.CAB
IE_S2.CAB

It stops there, it doesnt start downloading a new file.
