Yes.

About the Hebrew locale. It completes Ok, but in the line with the “File Edit View History…” you see ??? instead of letters.
This is fixed if I add this line to the launcher script :
export LANG=he_IL.UTF-8

But the real problem is when you visit the first Hebrew site. After that you are stuck.

Some answers:

jim: ieframe.dll will be on 2.5beta2
jim: Here, delay means 2 or 3 seconds

momo/jim: Is python 2.4 too new? Maybe someone could help me make this work with python 2.3?

martin: Do you have any URL to test this problem?

nirro: IE installation using Hebrew locale completes without problems? The problem is when you visit some Hebrew site, right?

I have the same problem as Elez J. Shenhar (the first comment).

Hebrew sites don’t work with this version. This is a regression versus the stable version of ies4linux.
It appears that during the first page you want to load in Hebrew, IE tries to install the support for Hebrew, it opens a new window that remains empty and stuck everything.

I’m using wine0.9.27, and Ubuntu Feisty.

I need to use an IE > 5.5 (especially the DHTML-plugin of it) to run my CityDesk (FogCreek), what gives me on a pure wine 0.9.2.7 the errormessages on startup:
Microsoft XML 3 is not installed correctly
DHTMLEdit is not registered correctly

As i have seen in the older ies4linux the installation is an external outside of the normal .wine “sandbox” and i have no access to such missed libraries.

How can i fix that cludge ?
System: Ubuntu 6.10

Thanks for reading.

I have experienced the same problems as the other users. Nice work!

Interesting point, momo. Here’s my versions:

fedora: python-2.4.4-1.fc6, pygtk2-2.10.3-3.fc6
SuSE 10.2: python-2.5-19, python-gtk-2.10.3-11

I tried ies4linux-2.5beta1. It seems to depend on python 2.4, but 2.3 is my default.
Because of this, the programme failed to start.

I left ‘cancel’ going all night long 10+ hours. SuSE + fedora now.

And could you define ‘there is a delay before everything ends’? I hit ‘cancel’ immediately after starting the gui, and 14mins later, it’s still hung. Maybe SuSE pygtk is broken?

Thanx for the reply, slopes. However, I just grepped your source for ieframe and got nothing. I wouldn’t be getting import_dll errors if it had been installed, nor is it in ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system32/ (though I do see it in ~/.ies4linux/tmp). Also, copying over ieframe.dll to system32 corrects the problem (and for some mysterious reason, the rasdlg problem too, so I never tested copying over rasdlg.dll). Maybe you mean you corrected this in your next version? Thanx.
