IEs4Linux 2.99.0.1 fixes blank screen bug
06.02.2008
Many people are reporting this problem to me lately: when using IEs4Linux with recent wine versions (>=0.9.52), the ie toolbar disappear and others display bugs happen.Here is IEs4Linux 2.99.0.1 that fixes only this bug. It’s an emergency release since 2.99.1 is not ready yet (as you know I’m late with this due to recent personal problems).I’m now finishing 2.99.1 that will have a lot of improvements and much better Mac compatibility. Just wait or you can spy our SVN server 
Any special reason why http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz still contains 2.99.0 and not 2.99.0.1?
hi
Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. My application contains the filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft transition effects. But in such cases, it shows the screen full of black. Noting is visible. I don’t know why.
Please do the needful help.
Hi,
during the intallation i recieve the error msg:
[root@Ichigo ies4linux-2.99.0]# ./ies4linux

After this the installation stops.
What can i do to install correctly?
hi, Tiago.
it’s gtk problem.
you must do that:
./ies4linux –no-gui
–no-gui
—no-gui
Thanks for this great product. Fwiw, I’m getting the blank-screen error when I try to install the Sibelius Scorch plugin, even under 2.99.0.1.
I have installed this …but since wine update if i start ies4linux it just keeps on running a process called wineserver. so even i change settings and close ie6 it does not halt the process. Only ie6 is installed
Another thing i tried was to just run ie6 …in this case also it starts ie 6 correctly but wineserver process keeps running even if i close ie6(no process for IEXPLORER). i have another application…picasa on wine that works fine.
My wine version
wineserver -v
Wine 0.9.54

I am on FedoraCore 8
I can concur with the above on Fedora 8 (Note to previous poster, the “Core” is no longer part of the name as of Fedora 7) that once you close IE6, wineserver and several other bit of wine keep on running. This prevents you somehow from quitting and relaunching IE6/7 and ultimately later on if you let it go on unnoticed, it gradually consumes so much cpu that it slows down xscreensaver considerably. I noticed the xscreensaver module running VERY slowly, unusually so, and “top” showed me the runaway wineserver process.
I’m reluctant to upgrade with this problem in place (I’m on 0.99.0) due to the desire to not leave IE in any unfinished install states.
currently on wine-0.9.54-1.fc8 with kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 on an Intel T2060 1.6Ghz cpu with plenty of ram
Since around 0.9.53, wine is trying to execute the automatic startup programs from the ‘Run’ entry in the registry. That’s what one of those ‘bits’ is - wineboot, and if any wine program is running, wineserver is running. The other ‘bit’, winedevice, is started by wineboot. Usually, those programs exit when the last user program exits, but sometimes that user program may not exit cleanly, and wine gets stuck. The workaround, since ie6 is installed in it’s own directory, not ~/.wine, is to give the command:
WINEPREFIX=”~/.ies4linux/ie6″ wineserver -k
I installed this piece of software today from terminal and wondered why it didn’t work — but the first poster answered this. I must not be the only one to have made this mistake!
I was able to merge this with another project’s efforts and ended up with a blazing fast ie7 osx application, which opens in x11 but doesn’t show the command window and has a nice original M$ icon. If anyone’s interested, reply here and i’ll see what we can do about getting it out there for everyone.
Hi technicallyhesright!
If you have any improvement to IEs4Linux/Mac please return it back to the community! It would be very nice to include in the official build.

Nice Job!
It works perfectly with MacosX 10.5.2 (leopard) and wine-0.9.55 (from macports). Now the navigation bar bug is fixed
@jim
WINEPREFIX=’/home/jigar/ies4linux/ie6′ wineserver -k
wine: the ‘/home/jigar/ies4linux/ie6′ directory specified in WINEPREFIX doesn’t exist.
You may want to create it by running ‘wineprefixcreate’.
For me the upgrade does not work at all, i have a full black screen when starting any wine app.
anyway i got vgx.dll dependencies against vml enabled sites to stop showing empty dialog errors by downloading an upgrade from microsoft website. I wonder if it is possible to have it working given visio runs (at least as reported on the winehq appdb)
Thanks for the emergency release! The combination of IEs4Linux 2.99.0.1 and using the –no-gui flag during installation has resolved all of my IEs4Linux issues. Keep up the great work!
Looks great! IE 7 is buggy (hangs when the page is first rendering) on Debian Etch. The GUI hags indefinitely, but works like a charm with –no-gui.
I suppose it is “–no-gui” with two dashes at the beginning as the comment listing above is not discerning this. Is this correct?
Also, do I have to do a complete reinstall using that flag or can I just start up one of the IEs with that flag?
Thanx in advance. This saves having a Windows machine around that can be used for Linux instead.

That’s ‘.ies4linux’, not ‘ies4linux’. It has a ‘.’ in front.
WINEPREFIX=’/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6′ wineserver -k
wine: invalid directory ’/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6′ in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path
WINEPREFIX=”~/.ies4linux/ie6″ wineserver -k
wine: invalid directory ”~/.ies4linux/ie6″ in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path
I can’t see what’s wrong with the first version. Try typing out ~/bin/ie6. (If it is not there, try ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie6.) Compare what I wrote with the line starting with ‘export’ in that script.
i am on fedora 8.

what is the problem ?
Hmm - you didn’t say what version of ies4linux you are using, but you are definitely missing a ‘100% mfc42.cab’ message after the ‘100% DCOM98.EXE’ message. Try upgrading to 0.99.0.1, or if you are already there, try installing ie6 again. The code to download mfc42.cab is definitely there in 0.99.0.1 (in lib/install.sh). You could also try adding the ‘–debug’ flag to your ies4linux run.
@jim
i did as follows
ll /home/jigar/bin/ie6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jigar nvs 30 2008-02-12 13:25 /home/jigar/bin/ie6 -> /home/jigar/.ies4linux/bin/ie6
ll ~/bin/ie6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jigar nvs 30 2008-02-12 13:25 /home/jigar/bin/ie6 -> /home/jigar/.ies4linux/bin/ie6
Both are pointing at correct places.
inside /home/jigar/bin/ie6, Its correctly exports thing
export WINEPREFIX="/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6"
if [ -f "/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6/.firstrun" ]; then
Still when i say do
WINEPREFIX=’/home/jigar/bin/ie6′ wineserver -k
wine: invalid directory ’/home/jigar/bin/ie6′ in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path
And still when i start ie 6 it starts wineserver.
Then maybe ‘/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6′ is *not* an absolute path - maybe it’s a soft link. Try saying:
WINEPREFIX=”/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6/” wineserver -k
(with a slash at the end). Also, show me the output of ”ll ~/.ies4linux/ie6″.
Also, note that you said above:
WINEPREFIX=’/home/jigar/bin/ie6′ wineserver -k
where you gave the location of the ie6 script, ~/bin/ie6, instead of ~/.ies4linux/ie6. However, your post on Feb. 20 did use ~/.ies4linux/ie6.
Btw, there is no getting around wineserver starting. That’s what coordinates between user programs and the wine kernel. Wine won’t work without wineserver. What you want is wineserver to go away when your last wine user program goes away (along with the child programs like winedevice, etc.)
$ WINEPREFIX=”/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6/” wineserver -k
wine: invalid directory ”/home/jigar/.ies4linux/ie6/” in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path

ok..but does winseserver consumes so much of resources ? It almost floods . my CPU. Usage shown is 100%….anyways i want to get rid of killing wineserver always after closing ie6 windows. and able to install ie7
today i manually downloaded ies4linux-2.99.0.1 from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads and when i ran ./ies4linux it crashed.here is the output:

ok i just did ./ies4linux –no-gui and it worked !
but it is consuming 100%cpu.
Always appear white screen and I can’t use it never. I’m on Ubuntu 7.04 and wine 0.9.46, and the shortcuts never was created. I instaled it without errors.
Is the wine version the problem? :S
Jigar -
Ok, yeah, I’ve sometimes seen the 100% cpu problem, and then wineserver -k doesn’t work right. It is probably a wine problem, aggravated by some web pages. music.yahoo.com does it sometimes.What I do is the wineserver -k w/the WINEPREFIX, but only the original wineserver program exits then. At that point, it is safe to do ‘kill -kill pid#’ for each pid# corresponding to winedevice, wineboot, explorer, iexplore & “bash ~/bin/ie6″ (2 of them). ‘kill -kill’ kills with prejudice, and is less likely to leave a zombie process (which is really harmless). Yes, it is a pain to have to do that, but it’s only happened to me infrequently. Hopefully wine will be better at that in a month or two.
Jezu -
Are you using the ‘ie6′ script provide by the ies4linux install, or trying to execute ‘wine iexplore’? The script is in ~/bin/ie6, which should be a soft link to ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie6. So long as ~/bin is in your PATH, that should work. Trying to execute ‘wine iexplore’ will bring up wine’s builtin IE, which is not setup by ies4linux, and will indeed be nothing but a white screen.
I’ll have to try the bit aout the WINEPREFIX. Even renicing the process up to 12-15 doesn’t prevent it from eventually consuming so much of resources that my window manager behaves as if stuck in the LaBrea tar pits. I’m currently on Fedora 8 if that’s any help. I hope to see a fix for this soon, as it’s made it very difficult for me to work with IEs4Linux for any length of time longer than 10 minutes at a stretch.
Sergio, Have you considered starting an #IEs4Linux support channel on irc.freenode.net? it would be a very welcome resource for us users to meet on and garner mutual support. The #winehq channel has refused any and all support assistance with an IEs4Linux install so it’s very difficult otherwise to gather a pool of knowledge for help with issues.

The folder /BCKUP i created for a test, i downloaded this file manually but it dont work…
sorry about my english is not so good.
@Scott @Jim
As jim said its an issue with Wine. So is there any issue filed with wine on this ? (Please let us know so that we can track) And Jim you said correctly.It happens for particular sites. But without fix for this its difficult to use it for a longer time.
Orlando -
Well, all your permissions look ok - there is nothing that would stop you from writing the files to those directories. All I can tell you is when I ran ies4linux and selected PT-BR from the drop down box in the gui (or you could run ‘ies4linux –no-gui –locale PT-BR’), it worked for me. Have you tried again?
I gues the trouble is on my wine and/or my computer…
Even use –locale EN-US the sabe error persist..
It’s don’t download the files…
Respected Dears,
I am srinivasan from coimbatore in Tamilnadu in India.I have installed ie4linux successfully.
But I did some manual works on installation.
step 1 : I downloaded all “wine*.rpm”s depends upon my OS like manually.
step 2 : Then I downloaded “cabextract.tar.gz” file manually.
step 3 : Then I downloaded “fontforge*.rpm” depends upon my OS.
step 4 : Then I downloaded “wine*.tar.bz”.
step 5 : Then I downloaded latest “ies4linux*.tar.gz” file
step 6 : Then I installed “fontforge*.rpm” first
step 7 : Then I installed all “wine*.rpm”s
step 8 : Then I extracted “cabextract.tar.gz” file
step 9 : In that extracted directory I ran the following commands
./configure
make depend && make
make install
step 10 : Then I extracteded “wine*.tar.bz” file.
step 11 : In than extracted directory I ran the following commands
./configure
make depend && make
make install
It will take more than 30 minutes depends upon the system’s fast.
step 12 : Then I extracted “ies4linux*.tar.gz”file
step 13 : In that extracted file I ran the following commands.
./ies4linux
step 14 : It did not work properly
It did not download .cab files automaticaly.
so I saw in that directory /lib/install file
It is a shell script
I read that file and manually I downloaded all files and I copied thoes files in
~/.ies4linux/download
and
~/.ies4linux/download/ie6/EN_US
step 15 : It did not download flash player so on installation dont choose flash player.
step 16 : After that I ran ./ies4linux command
If it will say any file is missing
you must download that files manualy and copy that in
” ~/.ies4linux/download/ ”
” ~/.ies4linux/download/ie6/EN-US/”
step 17 : Successfully done
Thanking you!
srinavasan -
I’m glad you got it to work eventually, but I’m a little confused why you installed the wine .rpms *and* compiled and installed the wine tarball. Was the tarball a higher version #? You realize that if you have automatic update for your OS, it will overwrite your tarball with the next version your OS has available?
It’s curious why you and Orlando are having trouble letting the script download for you, and you have to download the cabs manually.

IEs4Linux installations finished!
Para executar os IEs, digite:
/home/tiago/bin/ie6
/home/tiago/bin/ie55
/home/tiago/bin/ie5
/home/tiago/bin/ie7
found out that the “[: 287: de: unexpected operator” error is something related to desktop icons or menu shottcuts. set them to ‘0′ and the error is gone.
still no ie5, ie5.5 or ie7.
Hi guys
I finally install ie4linux on my kunbuntu 7.10 but I installed the version 2.5beta6 because the final version i still can’t install… And the ie7 dont install, said “arquivo corrompido” corrupted file I guess..
Hi Guis
I were installed an older version, so I update to IEs4Linux 2.99.0.1 but for install that older version i have not problems, but for installIEs4Linux 2.99.0.1 you must install python because some install scrips are *.py
This work for me on Mandriva 2007.1
I Hope this help to someone.
Hello all!
I’ve tried both, IEs4Linux 2.99.0 and 2.99.1 and I have strange problem - websites doesn’t want to open. There is only information in status bar: Connecting to … [IP] and nothing happens.
I have no problems in other applications however I didn’t check something else under Wine. I’ve checked IE5.5, IE6 and IE7 - all the same.
My system is Dreamlinux, wine installed by APT GET and my internet connection is through router (WiFi USB dongle). Apps like FF, Opera, Skype, GoogleEarth works fine.
Is there any network configuration for Wine? Strange thing is, that if I type http://www…. address it shows IP of that server in status bar. Does it mean that it gets info from DNS?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi there,
Got here via Ubuntu list to download this apparently amazing programming effort.
Tried to sign up as member but no option present under Konquror to do so??
Thanks in advance …. if only it works for me, what a bugremover!
Cheers!
I’ve installed using the ie7 proxy hack, but it doesn’t seem to stick. When I open IE7 using selenium, it comes back with a 404, which is indicative of the proxy not being set. I installed using the no-gui option, does that make a difference?
Also, both ie6 and ie7 don’t seem to close cleanly. I’m searching the web for wine apps not closing, but haven’t come across anything so far. Any suggestions from the forum?
Hi there,

what’s the problem?
one thing I noticed when doing a fresh re-install just now, that may or may not be relevant:
installed ies4linux on a fresh desktop machine after a few false-starts with wget failing and causing an error.
ie6 launches fine and when the app is quit, a few moments later wineserver and the other associated processes ALSO quit.
I didn’t experience the ’stuff hanging around issue’ (tested several times) and figured all was well now.
HOWEVER, after connecting with https://accounting.quickbooks.com/ and installing their mandatory ActiveX plugin, the ’stuff hanging around after the app quits’ bit started happening again.
no idea if it’s related but if any of you beta-testers have an account on there, you might poke through the innards to see what’s going on.
[…] the blank screen bug has been a widespread issue. Sérgio has addressed it on his blog and pushed an emergency release of IEs4Linux, version 2.99.0.1, to resolve this issue […]
