Hi Ulysses – Yeah, I’ve had problems with IE7 too – it doesn’t seem possible to install IE7 with Wine at the moment, so ies4linux uses a workaround, and installs the IE7 rendering engine into the IE6 GUI. It’s kind of slow, but works sometimes.

To uninstall, just delete the /home//.ies4linux directory, and the ie* executables in /home//bin. Also delete the shortcuts in the Menu.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for your instructions. It worked great for IE6, but not for IE7 beta. It seems to be timing out. No worries. At least one version is working. The main reason I installed IE in Ubuntu is I’m constantly checking how my design pages look in IE. Now, I don’t have to switch computers. Just one question. How do you uninstall if you don’t want them anymore? Thanks once again.

I followed your instructions and it works #1 . I didn’t use the GUI, only the command line for this.

Thanks ! Now I can see how crappy my websites are shown in IE …

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your comment. The GUI should work in most cases – I probably had problems due to a heavily customised system – I like to tinker a little too much sometimes! Anyway, if it’s at all possible, enjoy IE, lol.

I followed your instructions….except when I tried the GUI installation it worked 100%. I read the readme in the download and it required cabextract (as well as wine). I installed cabextract through synaptics and then the GUI did the rest! I’m using Ubuntu Gutsy. Not very experienced at Linux but thought this comment might help someone.
Cheers
