Wine runs IE7!

[Hans Leidekker-4]

Well, sort of. I found bugs in shell32, rpcrt4, comctl32 and wininet
that I had to implement, stub and override my way past before it would
render a page, but finally, here's the obligatory screenshot.

You know you can look it up yourself?
git log --author="Hans Leidekker" origin/master

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think all the patches are in yet:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=search&h=HEAD&st=author&s=Hans+Leidekker&sr=1

Looking through the first couple pages, I don't see any comctl32 patches.

Boy, talk about folks taking a joke the wrong way.  The wink should have been a hint.

I'm happy that Hans got IE 7 working and installed.  I also think there is more work to be done before it can be fully used and then there should be patches submitted to implement this either in Wine Gecko or to allow installation of this product in Wine.

Again, good job Hans and thank you for the screen shot showing IE7 can work with Wine.

Hi Hans,

Nice work! However, it does not work properly on my setup (Ubuntu
Intrepid). Running:

    $ ./wine ~/Desktop/IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe
    $ ./wine "c:\\program files\\internet explorer\\iexplore.exe"

on a clean wineprefix with today's git, it installs (but seems to be
too quick!) and runs, but it complains about "Cannot find '%ws'."
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17136) and doesn't show
anything in the browser window.

I also get the same issue as
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12433. Note that this is with
no overrides, winetricks or anything else.

Did you do anything special to get IE7 working (apart from wading
through the bugs you found)?

Thanks,
- Reece
