Windows internet explorer linux

Ставим Internet Explorer в linux

Наверное, некоторые подумают на кой черт сдался этот престарелый ослик на «правильной» ОС. Весь мир старается отказаться от старых версий IE, а тут нужно установить.

Все бы ничего, но разработчики программного обеспечения в ОТП Банке разработали систему интернет-банка, которая работает только на Internet Explorer. Работать на любой другой на отрез отказывается.

Хотел уже было установить Internet Explorer 7 на Wine. Обновив Wine до последней версии, вспомнил что где-то я читал о специализированном пакете, который устанавливает IE.

Немного погуглив, наткнулся на 2 совершенно разных проекта, которые могут удовлетворить мою извращенную потребность — установить Internet Explorer на Linux.

Встречаем конкурсантов: ies4linux и Winetricks. Оба по заверениям разработчиков умеют это делать на отлично.

Чтобы установить ies4linux нам понадобится воспользоваться copy-paste и перенести в терминал несколько нехитрых команды.

Копируем архив с ies4linux:

Только после установки у меня не появилось ярлыка для запуска Internet Explorer 7 в Linux, поэтому я делал для себя его сам, указав только в качестве команды запуска /home/ivan/bin/ie7. Если нужен ярлык для Internet Explorer 6, то команда запуска будет такая — /home/ivan/bin/ie6.

Знаете ли Вы, что горячая вода замерзает в морозильной камере быстрее, чем холодная. Морозилка может быть любой, даже вот продажа морозильной камеры AEG подойдет.

В 1963 году танзанский школьник Эрасто Мпемба заметил это странное свойство воды. В честь него и назвали этот до конца не познанный эффект — эффект Мпемба.

Как запустить Internet Explorer в Linux или установка пакета ies4linux

Интернет обозреватель Internet Explorer, созданный компанией Microsoft, можно запустить и в ОС Linux.

Internet Explorer в Linux иногда нужен для запуска различных WEB-сервисов, интернет-банков и необходим для кроссбраузерной верстки WEB-сайтов вебмастерам работающии в Linux.

Для того, чтобы установить IE в Linux воспользуемся пакетом ies4linux, который намного облегчает установку этого браузера.

Пакет ies4linux запускается через Wine, поэтому перед установкой ies4linux требуется поставить Wine. Где взять и как устанавливать Wine для разных ОС Linux сказано здесь.

Во время установки Вам будет предложено на выбор установить Internet Explorer версий 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0. При установке версии 7.0 иногда возникают проблемы. Именно по этому эта версия помечена флажком BETA.

Установка пакета ies4linux в Linux:

Если после установки Вы не видите добавленного ярлыка в Меню (Приложения>Интернет), то для запуска Internet Explorer`a набираем в консоли команду:

Семейная пара не отказывается, что их дети проходили кастинг на лицо наружной рекламы компании, но, по заявлениям P&G, они не прошли даже отбор.

На улицах Москвы очень много такой рекламы, возможно и Ваши дети изображены на чьем нибудь штендере.

так банк-клиент запускается? а как же активыксы, подпись и т.п.?

Как установить Internet Explorer в Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon, Feisty Fawn, Edgy Eft и Dapper Drake)

Эта статья показывает как установить Internet Explorer трех разных версий (6.0, 5.5 и 5.0) в Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, Edgy Eft и Dapper Drake (проверено также в Gutsy Gibbon). Это полезно, например, для веб-дизайнеров, перешедших на Linux, но которым необходимо тестировать их сайты в Internet Explorer. Также остались еще сайты, работающие только в Internet Explorer.

Я также не даю гарантий что это заработает у вас!

1 Вступительные заметки

Существует пакет названный IEs4Linux который позволяет легко установить 3 версии Internet Explorer на вашу Linux систему. В этой статье я покажу как его исользовать.

Но перед началом вам следует сначала прочесть эту страницу: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Legal_notices. IEs4Linux — GPL програмное обеспечение, но Internet Explorer не является таковым, это проприетарное ПО со своей собственной лицензией. И если вы хотите установить Internet Explorer на вашу Linux систему, у вас должна быть действующая лицензия Microsoft Windows, иначе установка Internet Explorer будет нелегальной.

2 Правка /etc/apt/sources.list

Для установки IEs4Linux, мы должны внести изменения в /etc/apt/sources.list.

2.1 Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

В Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, у нас должны быть строки deb de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe и deb wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main (да, edgy правильно, т.к. этот репозиторий еще пока не имеет паетов для Feisty, но к счастью папеты для Edgy также работаюти в Feisty) в /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Затем надо выполнить команду:

sudo apt-get update

для обновления базы пакетов.

2.2 Ubuntu Edgy Eft

В Ubuntu Edgy Eft, у нас должны быть строки deb de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe и deb wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main в /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

для обновления базы пакетов.

2.3 Ubuntu Dapper Drake

В Ubuntu Dapper Drake, у нас должно быть: deb de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe и deb wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main in /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

для обновления базы пакетов.

3 Установка wine и cabextract

Следующее что нам надо установить wine and cabextract например так:

sudo apt-get install wine cabextract

Если у вас спросили об установке этих пакетов без подтверждения ответьте положительно
(Install these packages without verification [y/N]?)

# sudo apt-get install wine cabextract
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
cabextract is already the newest version.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
wine
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 90 not upgraded.
Need to get 9476kB of archives.
After unpacking 44.4MB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
wine
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? — y

4 Установка IEs4Linux

Для установки IEs4Linux, мы делаем это (по-прежнему от обычного пользователя):

Вам зададут несколько вопросов:

Welcome, falko! I’m IEs4Linux.
I can install IE 6, 5.5 and 5.0 for you easily and quickly.
You are just four ‘enter’s away from your IEs.

I’ll ask you some questions now. Just answer y or n (default answer is the bold one)

IE 6 will be installed automatically.
Do you want to install IE 5.5 SP2 too? [ y / n ] — y

And do you want to install IE 5.01 SP2? [ y / n ] — y

IEs can be installed using one of the following locales:
EN-US PT-BR DE FR ES IT NL SV JA KO NO
DA CN TW FI PL HU AR HE CS PT RU EL TR
Default is EN-US. Hit enter to keep it or choose a different one: — [Укажите предпочитаемую локаль или нажмите ENTER для использования EN-US.]

PS для Gutsy Gibbon работает вариант с Feisty Fawn

How To Install Microsoft Internet Explorer on Linux in Two Easy Steps

I am not a big fan of Internet Explorer but sometime you need Internet Explorer on Linux for:

=> Testing purpose (web developers)

=> To see IE only sites (many sites still only works with IE for example my bank site and few essential government site)

You need to use Wine to run IE. But there is a small collection of shell script exists which makes your life quite easy. It is called Ies4linux.

IEs4Linux is the simpler way to have Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Linux (or any OS running Wine).

No clicks needed. No boring setup processes. No Wine complications. Just one easy script and you’ll get three IE versions to test your Sites. And it’s free and open source.

Appreciate your feedback.

i am trying to install ie and it keeps saying i need to install cabextract, which i have. help please

Cabextract allows you to use microsoft .CAB archives.
Just look for it on your synaptic pack manager.

It does not appear to be two “easy” steps, more like 25, each of which is more complicated and obscure than the last. Could you possible explain your two “easy” steps?
I am new to linux, but have used MSDOS and I need to have Internet Explorer on my Asus eee 4G to access websites for my work. I am not the slightest bit interested in why anyone thinks that Firefox is better than IE7.
Many thanks
Colin

I have installed ies4linux. but the last command

bin/ie6 is not work because in

bin directory nothing is there. I have installed all the step in root home directory. Is it ok

waiting for reply…
Avin

You do not need to install this software and IE as root user. Just login as normal user and run all the commands.

I tried to install this, but after it downloads everything, it freezes.
I have to close the terminal to get it to close.
any help?

and sometimes I get this error:

Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.6/gtk/gtktextlayout.c:2349:IA__gtk_text_layout_get_line_display: code should not be reached
ui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 12558 Aborted python “$IES4LINUX”/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py

After this error I’ve restarted instal script and got other error:
/home/drey/tmp/ies4linux-2.99.0.1/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py:268: GtkWarning: gtk_text_layout_real_invalidate: assertion `layout->wrap_loop_count == 0′ failed
self.textbuffer.insert_with_tags(self.textbuffer.get_end_iter(), line, tag)

Thanks for reply

I have also try with normal user but It fail to complete installation and give following error
Creating basic Windows installation…
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/avin/.ies4linux/base/drive_c/Program Files’: No such file or directory

Login as root user and remove .ies4linux from /home/avin/ and try to install it as a normal user.

# rm -rf /home/avin/.ies4linux/
$ ./ies4linux

Perhaps you don’t have wind installed. If you do, just try running ies4linux twice. I had to do that once.

wheres and whats the terminal?!

i am tried to install internet explorer on RHEL5 but as soon as i run ./ies4linux it suggests to install wine & cabextract. i installed wine-1.0.1 & cabextract but still i couldn’t get internet explorer on linux

Chippies,
your terminal is aka your ‘konsole’

go to your home menu, and click ‘run’ and type in ‘konsole’

gah! i just finished installing, and i ran IE but nothing looks right.. everything is jumbled. my original motive for installing IE, btw, was so i could check sites i had designed, as i do them in firefox i wanted to make sure they were up to par in IE. but perhaps my problem is an old version of wine?

i installed wine but when i run ./ies4linux it showing You need to install cabextract first!
Download it here: http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php and when i open this site it shows

If all else fails install “Virtual Box”, which lets you load and run a full Win OS (I use XP-Pro) inside of Linux. Then you have access to all of Windows’ features.
On my machine (C751NR Laptop, 1 GB RAM, running Ubuntu/Debian 8.14) it works perfect. XP loads in less than 45 seconds. Run full screen or windowed.
Virtual Box should be in your package manager under Linux.
Questions? Email me info@tibatactical.com

1gb ram? *1.23gb ram laughs at you*

ps ubuntu isnt debian
pps ubuntu 8 is OLD ever heard of the number 16?
ppps downloading xp is ILLEGAL
pppps its Virtualbox not virtual box

I installed this in less than 3 minutes under SuSE, runs like a dream thanks guy’s.

You can download cabextract from this site.
http://www.cabextract.org.uk/

i am trying to install this.
when i execute this. it’s asking to install wine.
——————————–
You need to install wine first!
—————————-
Please let me know the steps to install this.

running ie6 is fine.
the only reason i want to use it is some .government sites which use activex stuff + my smartcard authentication.
how’s thing on the smartcard front?
i saw some mails from 2007 saying “not possible”.
any news?

getting following error :-

I was installing ies4linux,but it is asking to install cybextract software first.Please help me to download and install cybextract.

Prateek, you have to install with the ./ies4linux –no-gui

If you are running Fedora 10 x86_64 or equivalent, before you can get the installation to work, you have to go into the package manager, and install all the gtk i386 libraries that match the already installed x86_64 libraries. Otherwise, the install script will fail; ies4linux needs the i386 libraries. Needless to say, wine and cabextract must also be installed and ready to go.

very nice script I installed IE6 on my linux system successfully but can u tell me how to upgrade in to IE7

it installed on my system but on other system it show some problem for instaling wine many times i try to install wine but not success plz tell me proper solution and way to install wine on linux

I tried following the steps. And it says: `ies4linux-latest.tar.gz.2′ saved [332341/332341]
So I guess it saved or something. But after that nothing else happens.

I thought it was all ready to use so I tried typing in $

/bin/ie6 But it keeps saying: No such file or directory… What am I doing wrong? Plz help, I really want internet explorer on my comp. Thx.

Thanks so much. I had to run ./ies4linux about six times before it got the whole thing working, but now I have it working.

I installed ie6…I didn’t realize that they didn’t even have tabbed browsing in version 6 (or am I just being stupid and not getting it doing something right?) It’s been a long time since I used Internet Explorer, and basically just want to check websites that I am working on.

Anyway, much appreciated.

Excellent Topic. Thanks a lot.

Great. It worked like a charm… you need to install wine and cabextract first before installing IE6.. its working perfectly for me. However, the resolution of IE in Linux does not seems satisfactory. Can someone tell me how to rectify the resolution of IE in Fedora. thanks

after issuing the command
./ies4linux

it said:
“You need to install wine first!
Download it here: http://www.winehq.org“

guy just tell us step by step how to install wine… i have ASUS EEE PC and i dont know i should download which kind of wine in this website… and i dont know anythings about linux… even about commands… i’m just copying your commands in terminal and i have no freaking idea about linux:((

I HAVE PROBLEM WHEN I INSTALL IES4LINUX GIVE ME MSG I NEEED INSTALL NEW VERSION WINE I DO UPDAT FOR WINE STILL SAME PROBLM NOT HAVE ANY SOLUTION PLS

Hello, and thx btw for the help on installing the internet explorer. I wouldn’t need it except for the fact that I need it to do online classes for my work. I’ve done everything that the instructions dictated, the only problem now is me. I am having trouble discerning what this Error code message is needing from me, could you help? It reads:

Gtk:ERROR:gtktextview.c:3519:gtk_text_view_validate_onscreen: assertion failed: (text_view->onscreen_validated)
ui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 2473 Aborted python “$IES4LINUX”/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py
I am assuming it has to do with an update for python or something of the like, im just not savy enough yet to understand. If you could help me fix this problem and complete the install I would much appreciate it :

).
thx again
Travis J.

try re-installing it by re-issueing the command ‘./ies4linux’ as many time as it might seem broken

i successfully installed the ie6 but when i browse, my pointer doesn’t show up on some part of the page, i.e it disappears when moving on the page

I had the same problem exactly. Then I just ran a normal software update which updated WINE and several other things, and now it works beautifully. (I’m running Linux Mint 9, which is Ubuntu-based, but I don’t think which distro you’re using should change the result). Hope this helps,

The same error for me.

Gtk:ERROR:gtktextview.c:3571:gtk_text_view_validate_onscreen: assertion failed: (text_view->onscreen_validated)
ui/pygtk/python-gtk.sh: line 6: 18385 Aborted (core dumped) python “$IES4LINUX”/ui/pygtk/ies4linux-gtk.py

KIll script and retry. On 2nd try I didn’t get this error.

Hi, I am getting the following errors during installation and it is being aborted at error #2. Any help is appreciated.
1. An error occured when trying to cabextract some files.
2. 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).

Until the bugs are fixed, this isn’t really a viable testing option.
Great try, hope it improves, but ultimately, the list of known issues is a show stopper.
I’ll have to keep running in a virtual machine for now…

Why would anyone in their right mind install IE on linux?

…so their FAMILY TREE MAKER software will work! It uses ONLY IE.

Perhaps someone is a student in a web development class, and using IE is a requirement if said person would like to graduate from college, or someone has a job developing web software and using IE is a requirement if said person wants to keep job.

how can i download internet explorer on my pc. my pc is linux

I tried to add IE to my terminal or whatever & it didn’t work… It said something about “command not found” I need IE to view my bank summary, etc…. Could someone help me PLEASE 😉

Im having issues, it tells me I need to update the WINE edition I’m using, how do I do that? I’m also up to the Last, Launch Command thing, and I don’t understand that either, Please do a bit more explanation here on how to update WINE their site isn’t that helpful.

I think this is another one of those misleading tech tips on the web. This

“No clicks needed. No boring setup processes. No Wine complications. Just one easy script and you’ll get three IE versions to test your Sites. And it’s free and open source.” is mainly bull.

First you really need Wine for this to work. So I suggest that you refrain from posting tips unless you know what you are writing about so that you don’t waste people’s time.

i try to instal IEs4Linux but when i type ./ies4linux it keep saying =
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).

ihave tried –no-gui but it didn’t work

what have go wrong

oh one more thing my wine is 1.2.2 ubuntu lucid… thanks

GOT THE SOLUTION

If you want Internet Explorer under Linux like me as a web developer, install PlayOnLinux (just Google it) and then go in the Category ‘Internet’=>’Internet Explorer’ == DONE. and enjoy a lot more Windows app than just IEs4Linux…

The SOLUTION’S CALLED : PlayOnLinux

Agree – tried both, PlayonLinux is much easier. I think this one is defunct for current versions of Wine.

Have problem: I install 2 times, and it telling – finish-ok. But cannot start ie6, whereis/cnf/whatis donnot find ie6…

i change path to /home/local
(my /home are acctually nfs shares, but /home/local is my local disk)
any help?

i want internet explorer for asus laptop

please help me.’
thanks and regards

I have experience similar error “You need to install wine first!
Download it here: http://www.winehq.org” .
I thought the whole idea was to avoid installing Winehq.

Hopefully we can clarify!

Hi… I exactly have the Marc’s Problem (“You need to install wine first!
Download it here: http://www.winehq.org“) 😀
I dislike IE but I need it 4 opening my university’s page… And I don’t wanna install wine at all… What I have to do. Can u help me?!

Installing IE via PlayOnLinux is a piece of cake. PlayOnLinux should be on your distro’s repos, otherwise just google it. It does install winehq though.

A much heavier solution is to run Windows in a virtual machine => see VirtualBox, an open source version of VMWare. In the repos too.

The whole goal of wine is to avoid the installation of a complex virtual machine which will eat a lot of your ressources (RAM, CPU, HDD…), for the little windows programs which don’t need such ‘system infrastructure’ so to speak.

How to install those awesome apps, just go to your Synaptic Package Manager or their respective website.

Btw, why don’t you like wine? It never cause me any problems, since 10 years of intence use, and it has been very helpfull.

Hi…
You’re right, but I had used PlayOnLinux former, and VMWare too…
I had looking for another way to use IE directly [that I didn’t found it]…
Thanks 4 ur response anyway…

Lets face it. LINUX SUCKS. My neighbor had to put it on this machine. Have to write it’s commands?? TERRIBLE!!

Ill informed, around 60% of webservers run linux.

You should really consider actually learning what linux is before you start proclaiming its inadequacy. Linux does not support all the software that is available for windows and mac, though there are a lot of alternatives available on linux, so it isn’t the preferred desktop of the average home user. Linux is, however, a very powerful desktop OS that comes in many flavors. It may not be for everyone, but it definitely isn’t some command-line only OS built for nerds in their mother’s basement.

@Fred, Linux doesn’t suck. It is a very useful tool. Would I use it as my main operating system at home for everyday stuff. Absolutely not. Microsoft and Apple have taken the need to go to the command line completely out of the equation unless you’re performing some really advanced task. Stuff like installing programs is seamless in windows/mac. Linux is getting better but there are still a lot of linux programs that you have to compile yourself in order to install and that’s not user friendly. That being said, you’re trying to install a windows based product on a different operating system so you have to be ready to perform some advanced maneuvers to get that done. To say linux sucks because you have to jump through hoops to get a windows program installed is not good form.

The problem Linux has is that it is still the OS of choice of the nerd, and still aims at that market (All distros).
With the emergence of Windows 8, the community has an ideal chance to snatch a lot of windows users, now watch it fail.
While distros are produced that dont work straight out of the tin (My Ubuntu wouldnt network with windows machines, then when I installed Nvidia display drivers the desktop would not start), the average userthat doesnt know anything about computers is going to steer clear.
Its not as if the developers havent had long enough to sort these things out….

Installing windows 8 on my touch screen PC (It’s an HP that came with Win7) the video drivers for it are no good. To install windows 8 I had to put the hard drive in a different computer, install windows 8, load the most basic, one-size-fits-all windows display driver and then place the hard drive back into my touch screen system. The latest version of Ubuntu installed on my laptop, put in CD and turn computer on, follow instructions…WIN! Windows strives for user-friendly, but it doesn’t always succeed. I had some very serious issues adding a Mac to the network in the office I used to work in (so serious that I never succeeded in connecting the machine to the network), but my linux machines and windows machines were plug-and-play. Maybe it was because I develop windows/linux software and my knowledge of Mac is Steve Jobs, over-priced, good for graphics software and doesn’t run on Windows. Perhaps it was a problem with the system, but no matter what it didn’t work and that’s a strike on the user friendly part. I’ll agree that windows and mac are ahead of the game on user-friendly with Linux gaining by leaps and bounds, but Windows and Mac are not bullet proof.

My problem with Linux is that I end up spending way too much time trying to get it to work and to install applications. Some applications need CentOS, some need Ubuntu, some need Debian in order to compile properly. My time is worth way more than the cost of an OS.

I’m running Windows 7, Windows 8, CentOS, and Debian – Windows 8 is actually my favorite because it’s super easy to install and run an app from the Store *and* it is the FASTEST booting OS on a PC or Mac.

Linux is like getting a free puppy – it’s cute and all at first, but there’s a lot more cost and maintenance than you think.

Thanks for this post, i will try that.

If you need Internet explorer for some sites or web development testing, you are better off setting your machine up to dual boot between windows and Linux. That way IE is running in its true environment, and you can easily stay up to date. I appreciate that not everyone will have the disc space or the no how to do it, but in my opinion it’s the best option. Also it gives you the ability to have other windows software that you can’t find a suitable Linux alternative for.

I installed ies4linux successfully (as root) but I will take care of that part later. However, I received an error/bug message. No one else reported it so I’ll post. Hopefully someone can help me.

Linux Distro: BT5r3 Ubuntu LTS

The program ‘ies4linux-gtk.py’ received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was ‘BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)’.
(Details: serial 6095 error_code 14 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the –sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
