Dear Dan Kegel, Thanks for your nice work again! After install ie6 with winetricks, I found that png images can't display in IE6, I download pngfilt.dll manually and regist it with wine regsvr32, then IE6 display png files well. Will winetricks add pngfilt.dll verb, or add integrate pngfilt.dll installing in winetricks ie6 ? I'm not sure weather it is a bug, should I report it as a new issue? Many thanks again! Best wishes.

Had to run with WINEDEBUG=warn+heap to avoid memory bugs in setupapi? -- Regards, Qian Hong - Send from Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/

Dear Michael Stefaniuc, I can't agree more with you, IE6 must die, the sooner the better. But unfortunately, sometimes I can't leave IE6. For example,my online bank is IE only, it can't work without ActiveX. Maybe you'll suggest me to change another online bank without ActiveX, but unfortunately again, my student card is bundling with that bank, so as everyone in our school. Serveral websites of our school are IE only.

Serveral websites of our school are IE only. The idea is to use IE7 and deprecate IE6 (for use in working around wine bugs). Wine's internal infrastructure is now closer to the IE7 design, and installing IE6 can make things worse, not better. -- -Austin
