WINE: Cannot install Internet Explorer 6 on 64-bit system
Hi everyone
I'm running the 64-bit version of Arch Linux, with WINE 1.3.2 from [multilib] and winetricks installed.
When I try to install ie6 via winetricks (which I need for both work and a game I'm trying to install ), I get the following error message:
The Windows Update: Internet Explorer and Internet Tools cannot be installed on this computer. This product does not install on 64-bit platforms.
After closing this window (i.e. clicking OK), I get another error message, which informs me that "regsvr32.exe has encountered a serious error and needs to close."
So, what gives? WineHQ shows claims of people being able to install it on a 64-bit Linux system; namely, Ubuntu and openSUSE... no Arch results, and I don't want to post "Garbage" if I'm doing something wrong here.
If anyone would help me shed some light on this (and perhaps even fix it!) I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
I know about wine-gecko. However, that's not it
edit: update to the problem: I've switched to bin32-wine-suse from AUR. Now I can install IE6, yay
However, something's still bothering me.
bin32-wine-suse complains about every wineprefix made by "stock" (multilib) WINE being a 64-bit environment, and thus impossible to work with.
So the [multilib] WINE apparently makes a 64-bit Windows-like environment, whatever that would mean to them. I don't really think that's right, knowing how some apps - namely, IE6 and such - complain about this.
Any ideas?

Hi,
my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
is already installed on your computer". ThanksHi,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.
Regards,

I am responding to the second post questioning "Why do you want to do this?"
I am a new Mac user and have just encountered a third part software that does not appear to be supported through Safari; thus I am receiving the following message when I attemt to log onto the system:
"Our system currently supports the following browser versions: Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 4 through Firefox 7. We have detected that you are using an unsupported browser. While you still may be able to use the system, depending on the browser, it is possible that you may run into technical issues that we cannot support. Please consider installing one of the browsers listed above to improve your experience with our system."
Bypassing this message only yields a Server Runtime error.
Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows. -

I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac (intel processor) running MacOS 10.6.8 to work with a program. How is the best way to accomplish this?
There is no way. IE has not been available for the Mac for years now.
Your only option is to install native Windows and use that - either through a bootcamp dual-boot scenario, or use a virtual machine to run windows in (eg. Parallels or VMWare Fusion). Either way, you will need a full retail install disk for Windows.
P.S. the last version of IE for Mac was for PPC machines, and it was discontinued in 2003. -

Virtual Box free, Windows 7 Home Premium System Builder SP1 $92.
IE9 is and can be secure and work just fine and I do prefer it to others, but Firefox lets me work in Apple Community easier is all.
Safari still bogs down trying to open multiple tabs, isn't multi-thread efficient, isn't memory efficient or well behaved - beyond the advandages of keeping code in memory it is still a memory hog. Open the same 20 tabs in any other browser is the best way I know. I also don't trust Google that much for security, I consider Google tracking and adsense to be a nuisance. Firefox gives some semblance, especially with add-ons, to tracking, cookies, privacy, and blocking content the best.

How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air
How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air
Internet Explorer is for Windows only and could be considered to be malware
Therefore the only options to do this are -
Install Windows in to a virtual machine using either VMware Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox, and then you can run Internet Explorer as normal
Or, install Internet Explorer via CodeWeavers "CrossOver Mac" - see http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=12714 however while older versions of Internet Explorer are working newer versions look like they don't work with this method. -

How to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.
how to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.
Hi,
Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible to install in Windows 8/8.1 PC.
As Rob suggested, we could use Internet Explorer 10 (In Windows 8) or Internet Explorer 11 (In Windows 8.1) developer tools to emulate IE8,
Using the F12 developer tools; Or build a Virtual Machine.
Besides, here is the download page:

Urgent need to install Internet Explorer or replacement
Please urgent need to install Internet Explorer or replacement
No hay, no ha habido y probablemente nunca habra Internet Explorer que corra nativo en iOS en iPads/iPods/iPhones. Hubo una version para OS X, pero Microsoft dejo de actualizarla y soportarla desde el 2002. Y al haber sacado su marca propia de tabletas, la Surface, MS ya no tiene aliciente para tener IE en la tableta de la competencia.
Se puede hacer una especie de "chachuyo" y tener IE indirectamente en un iPad. A traves del producto Citrix, la tableta se vuelve una "pantalla remota" de un servidor Windows, donde hay el genuino IE. Parallels acaba de sacar un producto con funcionalidad similar. Pero son muy caros y requieren ademas tener la infraestructura de la PC a donde se comunica la iPad.
Ya probaste con otros navegadores ademas del Safari para ver si despliega la pagina? Veo al menos 6 diferentes navegadores alternativos para la iPad, como Opera, Mercury, Chrome, etc. -

Do you want to install IE on a Bootcamp/Windows or OSX? OSX does not have IE anymore. The last IE was v4.0 for native OSX.

No. Besides Safari, which is the native iOS browser, there are some other browsers in the App Store, such as Chrome, Atomic, Apollo. Take a trip over to the App Store and do a little search to see what you might find, and then what you might like.
