Or even sooner. There’s now an ie8 verb in winetricks even though ie8 doesn’t quite work yet in wine… I figured people were asking for it, so why not. Maybe that will help spur people to get it working.

decentralist, yes to the first question, and I haven’t decided on the second but I’m leaning towards no. The two packages can exist separately there.

Is your PPA for wine going to follow the 1.3 branch as a “wine1.4″ package? And will following your PPA auto-update from wine1.2 to the 1.3 branch, however you title it?

On Ubuntu 10.04, IE7 installation fails if you leave “install updates and Microsoft update tool” (I forget the exact wording) ticked. Unticking it means that installation succeeds.

Fair point jani, I couldn’t remember if add-apt-repository triggered an update or not. I guess it doesn’t.

besides the missing dash, also missed a sudo apt-get update in between (if the intent was providing commands for easy copy pasting)

Indeed I did, thanks Anne (fixed)

Cool stuff!
Think you missed a dash in: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Thx for the tip,
Anne Jan

I was unsure as to where to report this, as it concerns unofficial packages, but I thought I should bring to your attention that many Windows programs fail to run under Wine with the 2.6.35 (backported from Maverick?) kernels from the xorg-edgers PPA.

Cheers,
Antonio
