Have installed ies4linux but on running get the following problem:

IEs4Linux 2 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x). It seems that you are using an old version. It’s recommended that you update your wine to the latest version (Go to: winehq.com).

what version of wine are you running?

type at a command line:


wine --version

and report back (but if you don’t have what the error says you need,
then upgrade)

and, what version of openSUSE are you running?
at a command line, type:


cat /etc/SuSE-release

and report back

not sure, you can check…but, i guess IEs4Linux is a 16 or 32 bit
program, and i’m not sure if that presents problems with your wine in
a 64???

hmmmm…a google on this string

ies4linux 64bit problem

brings 32,000+ hits…so, i guess you need to do some reading (while
waiting for someone with experience running it in a 64 bit environment
happens alone, if they do [my ies4Linux works great in my 32 bit
environment])

This is a KDE problem. Update KDE and try.
You will get the same error message about wine version but you can ignore that. You will get the ies4linux configuration menu.

ies4linux works on 64bit machines. Actually, what it does is running the IE code under wine and it is taking care of all the issues otherwise you will face with, when installing IE under wine. However, it uses its own wine configuration and does not touch your .wine directory. So, once installed, it will continue to work even if you mess up with your wine configuration.

Yes, it’s a KDE thing! Works on my laptop running 4.3 stable, but not in 4.4RC1.

i guess you could have mentioned you were running a
non-released/experimental/beta desktop…

well, since you do you should always mention that…AND, be a little
more patient…

and most important, when you find a bug you have an obligation to
report it…see http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports

I stated which KDE desktop I was using in my first post - along with Suse version which you then asked for again!

well my friend…i just went to look at this thread in the web forum
and see that you did include that info…but, it absolutely didn’t
come though in NNTP…the first line i saw was/is “Have installed
ies4linux but on running get the following problem:”

a fact i will now report to the folks who administer both
avenues…because i’ve not seen such an error before…

sorry…
