Questions[ie](ubuntu)

I'm trying to run a game installer which requires me to scroll down a license agreement before being able to continue, it is rendered in HTML using some IE tech so I need wine-gecko I believe.. but how do I install it?

wine msiexec /i wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi just gives me:

0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot
0009:err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot

Not being able to scroll means not being able to agree to the licence agreement.

See: https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.

EDIT #1

When wine initializes itself I get this:

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/myuser/.wine'

Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in L"/home/myuser/.wine" has been updated.
Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
0009:err:mshtml:create_document_object Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE

So it looks like it's trying to find gecko somewhere..

So I am trying to install Internet Explorer on my ubuntu 18. I followed these steps from here

sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz

As I got the ies4linux-latest.tar.gz file and tried to gunzip and untar it, I am getting the below error :

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

Which means that the file is not properly gzipped and its an HTML or binary or some code. In my case it's an HTML code. So I opened it and had a 1800 line of code.

I tried other links to find the source file but I can't.

I am installing internet explorer 8 using playonlinux. However after downloading and extracting all the files a pop up arises saying:

The installation does not support your operating system's current service pack version

Please someone help in resolving this issue.

I recently added Picasa 3.9 to my Ubuntu 11.10 machine using the technique from this askUbuntu question: How would I install Picasa 3.9?

But I'm wondering: does adding IE 6.0 (or Wine or Winetricks) leave my system vulnerable in any way? Since the IE 6.0 was added to allow Picasa 3.9 login, I'm concerned about entering my Google account credentials, should I be?

Thanks.

I need to install a Windows application, which checks if there is Internet Explorer of at least 5th version installed and refuses to install (while I believe it does not really need it to work) if it is not.

I've tried winetricks to install ie 8, 7, 6 full, 6 versions it offers - none worked - versions 7 and 8 installers report a function missing in msvcr (installing all msvcr versions didn't help), ie6 report some other error (I'll specify if it matters).

I've also tried IEs4Linux - it also fails, complaining for a "BadIDChoice" X Window System error received by ies4linux-gtk.py.

Is there a way to install any IE version in Ubuntu 10.10 with Wine or to mock its presence? I don't even need it to work, just to be installed in the Wine system so that other Windows programs could see it's there.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 with Wine 1.3.8.
