The HowTo is for SLED 10, which is a different product then openSUSE.

Use the general instructions, but befor you do make sure you have installed wine and cabextract

su
zypper install wine cabextract

Then proceed with the general instructions

You can actually install IE in wine.
winetricks is handy to assist (google it)

Or use XP in Virtual Box - way better

Hi,

Why not just use openSuSE, even better.

There are plenty of browsers out there.

Barry,

There are no great solutions for running shockwave or activeX under Linux accept to use IE. So “use another browser” is not actually an effective solution in some cases. There are several sights I visit for college using activeX for which there is no other solution than to use IE and ies4linux is perfect for this.
