Unfortunetly I gave up all of my windows software for FreeBSD a couple
of years ago now.  All I have is the CD that came with my laptop to
ghost windows back onto my machine.

I have emailed the port maintainer regarding this and wine is indeed
broken on FreeBSD and he does not have the knowledge to repair it. 
The wine faq actually says that none of their team use FreeBSD so
there is no support from them for it either.

I would like to see this working again if possible.  Is there even
anyone out there who has this working already who could send me a tar
of their wine directory with ie6 installed?

Thanks
Chris

Have you considered using QEMU? I have it installed on an old 300MHz
notebook. It runs Win98 perfectly and applications like IE are usable on
this hardware.

Installing DCOM98 with Wine

2005-05-03 Thread Chris Hodgins 
Hi,

I have the latest Wine and Winetools installed and I am now trying to
install DCOM98 with the purpose of installing internet explorer 6 for
my web development needs.

I have downloaded DCOM98.exe and ie6setup.exe into my
/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ directory and then to install DCOM98 I do
the following:

(Note that I have followed advice by this site:
http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:# export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:# wine dcom98
fixme:file:get_default_drive_device auto detection of DOS devices not
supported on this platform

err:heap:HEAP_CreateSystemHeap system heap base address 0x8000 not available

Durring this time I get a box asking me if I want to install DCOM98,
which I reply yes to.  I then have to agree to a EULA, which I do.  It
then starts copying the files and then it pops a message box up saying
"Error loading SETUPAPI.DLL".  If I look for this file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:# find . | grep -i setupapi.dll
./setupapi.dll.so

Any help getting this working would be great.

Thanks
Chris
