It might be simplest to simply reinstall Wine after installing IE. Or, if we can get Wine to run the native REGSRVR32.EXE with no trouble, it shouldn't be a problem when the Wine version gets overwritten with the native version. Someone who wants a Microsoft-free installation won't install IE anyway. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA5meJkeetBuAdnkIRAspQAJ9ua13goN8NnhRGlzK4eqjSKPfNAACgpllS 15rpfMNwCTvauB61uUpGEOA= =aDxt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- resume at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/resume.htm PGP key at http://www.cse.msu.edu/~lamber45/newmail.htm#GPGKey
