Вопрос Wintricks. Или — как установить IE в линуксе
Для запуска приложений, изначально разработанных для ОС Windows, в Linux используется Wine .
Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.
Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software.
Как правило, чтобы запустить под Wine програмное обеспечение, созданное для Windows — чистого Wine не хватает, обязательно понадобятся дополнительные шрифты и библиотеки.
Скажем, установка графической библиотеки DirectX под Wine далеко не всегда проходит гладко. а есть еще windows-шрифты, NET Framework, библиотеки MS Visual Basic и т.д.
Облегчить работу по установке всего этого добра вам поможет скрипт Winetricks, с помощью которого установка дополнительных библиотек и шрифтов к Wine становится очень простой.
Итак. Прежде всего, разумеется, нам понадобится Wine.
А также — пакет cabextract .
Устанавливаем стандартным способом, из репозитория вашего дистрибутива.
Установили? забираем последнюю версию winetricks, нажав правой кнопкой мыши на ссылку — Сохранить.
После того, как скрипт окажется на вашем компьютере, попросту выполните
, запустится графический интерфейс со списком доступных пакетов:
Выбираем, предположим, Internet Explorer и устанавиваем:
Вообщем-то, и все. по окончании инсталляции (в ходе которой вам будет предложено установить, в частности, Gesko — соглашайтесь) вы получите синтаксис запуска установленного приложения:
wine 'C:\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore'
Введите команду — и Internet Explorer ваш:

About Internet Explorer 8
Windows Internet Explorer 8 (abbreviated IE8) is the latest web browser developed by Microsoft in the long running Internet Explorer browser series. The browser was released on March 19, 2009 for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7. Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are available. It is the successor to Internet Explorer 7, released in 2006, and is the default browser for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems except in Europe. IE8’s global market share is estimated to be about 18-20%.
According to Microsoft, security, ease of use, and improvements in RSS, Cascading Style Sheets, and Ajax support were its priorities for Internet Explorer 8.
Internet Explorer 8’s main rendering mode, known as standards mode, has improved support for various web standards, especially CSS, compared to Internet Explorer 7 and earlier versions.
The web standards supported by IE8 include the following:
- HTML, including the HTML object fallback and the abbr and elements
- Data: URIs
- CSS level 1 is fully supported. CSS level 2 is mostly supported however the CSS level 2 implementation does diverge from the CSS2 specification on over 50 counts. CSS level 3 is partially supported.
- DOM storage
- Partial HTML 5 support, including cross-document messaging
- Selectors APIs
- DOM, that brings it in line with implementations in other browsers. Attributes and properties in DOM objects are now handled differently, and the behavior of the getAttribute, setAttribute and removeAttribute modifiers have been changed to match the behavior of other browsers.
- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) specification for enhanced accessibility in Ajax-based rich Internet applications.
However, IE8 does not support some other W3C standards.
This is with a clean configuration directory, with no other applications or games installed.

You will also need to copy a number of DLL’s from a Windows XP machine and place them in /system32 as winetricks doesn’t provide these DLL’s at this time.
Now download winetricks if you don’t already have it and install the following Windows redistributables.
Download Windows Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP from Microsoft and save it to your home directory.
Now open a terminal and run $ wine IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe
The IE 8 install should now start, I didnt select the Windows security updates in my install.
Conclusion and known problems
While IE 8 will run and render web pages just fine there is still a large number of problems/bugs that remain to be resolved before you will want to use the browser on Linux on a daily basis.
Bookmarks and RSS feeds don’t currently work and their is a number of problems related to comctl32.dll for example the forward and backward buttons background isn’t painted and even worse if you select Help the browser will lock up. I also had a number of lock ups when trying to save Internet options.
Their are also major problems with comdlg32.dll the address and search bars dont accept input at this time, so what ive done is set google as my homepage and then go from there.
You can easily do this in the user.reg file, just change the start page to what you want your home page to be. Here is what I have as a example :
[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main]
«Start Page»=»http://www.google.com/ncr»
You can however view web pages, and navigate around a site to see how well it renders with IE 8 if your a web developer.
One way to help support further development of Internet Explorer is to purchase CrossOver Office and then vote for IE 8 as the app that you would most like to see supported in a future release.
