when I wanna install ie7 or ie6 there is a dialog tells “Unhandled page fault on read access….”

==>(wait a long time and no response, so I press Ctrl+c)
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0×65736172 at address 0×65736172 (thread 019a), starting debugger…
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0xc44b0

my machine is gentoo 2.6.17 and wine 0.9.23

[...] Nuovo aggiornamento per lo script IE4Linux, già discusso su OSSBlog, che permette di installare sulla propria macchina con il pinguino l’ultimo browser di casa Microsoft. Anche se può sembrare un’eresia questo softwarepermetterà a molti web designer di lavorare senza dover usare macchine virtuali o peggio fare il reboot del sistema. [...]

When I tried to get to “internet options” to set my proxies I got nothing. No errors, no windows. Nothing.

Installs fine (though claims that –beta-gui is unknown) and even runs. However, if I try to access the “Internet Options” where I need to set my proxies, it tells me that this option has “cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer”.

The ‘err:module:import_dll’ problems came up when I tried to click on Tools -> Internet Options.

Re-running the install so that ie7.reg gets applied made the clipboard pasting and rendering work properly.

I echo dapuzz’s report on ‘dev/null’. In addition, msvcrt/msvcrt40 need to be set to builtin. (Is ie7.reg not being applied?)

Got a few ‘err:module:import_dll … not found’ reports for IEFRAME.dll & RASDLG.dll, and I couldn’t paste text into the url box:

err:clipboard:X11DRV_CLIPBOARD_RenderFormat Failed to cache clipboard data owned by another process. Format=13

It’s got some rendering problems – I had to hit refresh every time I paged down.

Trying to call up ie7′s iexplore.exe from my WinXP partition (with your WINEPREFIX) resulted in:

wine: Call from 0x402da6 to unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.HeapSetInformation, aborting

so I expect wine has a way to go before it can fully support ie7.

All in all, though, nice work.

“[...](conditional comments works now)[...]”

They do, but IE7 doesn’t identify itself as IE 7, or did I something wrong?

Which Version of IE7 it is? RC1, RC2, RC3 or the final version?

Hi
The correct option is with two minus “-–beta-install-ie7″
Please correct lib/ui.sh to redirect stdout to /dev/null instead than dev/null

Thanks
