What is the best way to get Internet Explorer installed on Tiny Core?
Please do not tell me that other browsers are better as I already know that. :)
Here is what I have tried.
I have installed the version that comes with wine-gl.tcz. But it does not work quite right. I really do not want to use this browser.
I ran the IE8 full installer successfully. But, I get program errors when I try to run iexplore. IE does not come up. I might try this again on a freshly installed TinyCore.
I downloaded IEs4Linux into /home/tc, extracted the files, ran ./ ies4linux per the instructions on their website. I get "sh: ./: Permission Denied". I have tried running as both root and tc and get the same error.
If you know of a way to install Internet Explorer on TinyCore, please tell me. Thank you for your help.

...ran ./ ies4linux per the instructions...
Is this a typo, or might it be significant that there is a space after the slash in
./ ies4linux?
-
I was putting a space after the slash. Thanks for pointing that out.
However, when I run ./ies4linux while in the ies4linux-2.99.0.1 folder , I get
"env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory"
-
Is bash.tcz installed?
-
Bash.tcz was not installed. After installing it, I was able to run the script. But it came up with errors. I am going to rebuild a fresh TinyCore to test.
-
After building a fresh install of TinyCore, I read through the errors and found that I needed a few packages. I will list them here so others may benefit. However, this is not a complete list. I am still getting errors when I choose what version of IE to install and click OK.
These are the packages that I have installed.
wine-gl (1.3.9)
cabextract
bash
pygtk
ncurses-utils
ies4linux
Here is what I get when I run ./ies4linux and click OK to install.
tc@tc001:~/ies4linux-2.99.0.1$ ./ies4linux
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).

I hadn't heard about IEs4Linux before, that is pretty cool, especially for a web developer or something. Anyway, I noticed on their site that they only support IE 6, 5.5, and 5. It looks like IE 7, 8, and 9 are beta/experimental. Have you had any luck with one of the older supported versions of IE?

-
Did you load the pygtk-2.7-dev extension and all of its deps?
-
I hadn't installed pygtk-2.7-dev. I installed it.
I ran ./ies4linux. I still get the same error if I do not change any options and click OK.
The default options that I do not change are: Install Internet Explorers 6.0, Locale is EN-US, Install Plugins is Adobe Flash 9, Install icons in Desktop.
If I uncheck the option to install icons on the desktop, I get further into the installer.
There was an error downloading DCOM98.EXE. My only option is to close and re run the installer. This is the text in the install window before I close it.
IEs4Linux will:
- Install Internet Explorers: 6.0
- Using IE locale: EN-US
- Install Adobe Flash 9.0
- Install everything at: /home/tc/.ies4linux

The reported issues with the 'ps' command (i.e. the lack of supporting the '-p' option by the BusyBox applet) should go away when using the "full-blown" version contained in the 'procps.tcz' extension.
-
I was thinking there was something with "ps". I installed procps.tcz and got a little farther in the install. Now its saying my wine version is too old. I am using wine-gl 1.3.9 from the TinyCore repository. Any ideas?
Here is what I get.

Installing IE 6
Initializing
Creating Wine Prefix
Your wine does not have wineprefixcreate installed. Maybe you are running an old Wine version. Try to update it to the latest version.
-
I saw that gutmensch updated wine-gl over the weekend. I installed the new version.
I still get the error message that I am using an older version of Wine as posted above. Since this is something I was just playing with and I need to move on, I am going to be done with trying to figure out how to install Internet Explorer installed on Tiny Core. At least for now. If somebody else wants to take up where I left off, please do so and update this thread if you come up with anything.
Here is a list of packages that I have installed from the TinyCore repository to get to where I am using ies4linux.
wine-gl.tcz
bash.tcz
cabextract.tcz
pygtk.tcz
ncurses-utils.tcz
wget.tcz
procps.tcz
ies4linux from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
Thank you all for your help in this experiment.

wine-gl.tcz 1.3.24 winetricks.tcz
1. In winecfg under Graphics uncheck 'Allow window manager to control windows'
2. wine myapp.exe
3. Check out wine-gecko.tcz and/or winetricks.tcz to get browser support and/or winetricks.
4. Example for winetricks.tcz:
