santanoo Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi! Anybody successfully running Internet Explorer in Mandrake? I need it in my box to see some website with fonts only supported in IE. I am unsuccessful in installing IE with a mandrake WINE RPM. I followed instructions in Frank's corner without luck. Has anybody successfully running IE in Mandrake WINE install. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Santanoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 No... BUT you can install a trail version of VMWARE and use that! I did it in the past when i had very similar issues! MS used to allow some company to make UNIX versions and also licensed it for the Mac but they have since changed their policy. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have put in considerable effort to make it NON WINEABLE. Its probably using some direct system calls that are not available through the API and wine can only work against the API. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 IE works perfectly under win4lin. I never could get it to work under wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
