And you, dear sir, learn some basic mailing list manners.

You don't know me, don't know where I am, have never seen my set up 
and have absolutely no clue under the sun earth moon and stars why my 
setup might or might not work. On my setup (vanilla wine direct from 
www.winehw.org) it does NOT work. ie6setup.exe tries to run and 
fails, on every wine since 0.9.10 at least, possibly earlier. There 
are no error messages and no indication as to why it doesn't work.

Have you considered that perhaps you have local copies of the full IE 
installation (which I don't), and MS is perhaps detecting that I use 
a non-MS OS and cause the install to fail? You do know that they 
explicitly test for wine in certain cases, as per their own web site 
(look up the citation yourself, I don't feel like doing it for you).

Go read the AppDB entries for IE - see for yourself the low success 
rate on getting IE to install in recent versions.

fud: fear, uncertainty and doubt - it's a terror tactic used by 
individuals or organizations who want to undermine the competition, 
and do so by lying. Show me where I lied in this thread, or 
deliberately tried to mislead others, and I'll retract this post.
