Internet Explorer 7 on Linux


Updates

Sérgio from IEs4Linux wrote to say that the latest beta has fixed the black-box image problem, and also has no WGA requirements - so I think it’s best that everyone moves over to using his installer, as mine was a once-off and probably won’t be maintained! Thanks for the interest shown by everyone!

You can find the latest betas on this page: IEs4Linux Latest News

To install IE7 with IEs4Linux use: ./ies4linux –beta-install-ie7

How to get IE 5.0, IE 5.5, IE 6.0 and IE 7.0 (release) running concurrently on Linux.

The following documents the relatively short process needed to get Internet Explorer 7 running on a Linux system. So far, I have found one (two) problems with this method: it seems transparent GIFs appear as filled-black boxes in IE7, and secondly (this is actually a good thing for me), this won’t give you the IE7 interface running in Linux, but rather the IE7 rendering engine inside the IE6 interface. What this means is that you won’t be seeing IE7 tabs or the RSS reader, but you will be able to debug webpages and fix layout problems.

Microsoft conditional comments do work, unlike the standalone version of IE on Windows, so you will be able to develop and test webpages across almost all major browsers (IE 5-7, Firefox, Opera) on one Linux box! Also note that we will avoid Microsoft’s Genuine Advantage download validation checks, so pure-Linux users will be able to finish the process without having to find a genuine Windows machine to download the IE7 setup file (the check is avoided legitimately, by the way).

First, install IE 6 (and optionally 5.5 + 5.0) using the excellent IEs 4 Linux installer. Consider donating to this project to say thanks!

Follow the instructions appropriate for your Linux distribution at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation. You must at least install IE6; 5.0 and 5.5 are optional and up to you. I assume that you used the default installation path of ~/.ies4linux - if you didn’t, ensure that you use the correct directory in the upcoming steps.

Once you have finished following the instructions, you can test your IE6 installation by running the ie6 command.

   ie6

I used a browser version check website (use Google, I don’t want to hotlink them) to test the currently installed browsers:

  • firefox reports ‘Firefox 2.0′
  • ie6 reports ‘MSIE 6.0′

Now for Internet Explorer 7:

To skip having to authenticate your copy of Windows at the Microsoft.com download site (since we’re on Linux and don’t have Windows…), make use of Google’s nicely customised IE7 installer; found at http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie7/. Download the file (IE7Setup_G.exe) and save it to a temporary folder.

Now, make a complete copy of your currently installed IE6 installation:

   cd ~/.ies4linux
   cp -r ie6/ ie7
   sed ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie6 -e 's/ie6/ie7/g' > ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie7
   chmod +x ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie7

Go to your IE7Setup_G.exe download and use cabextract which should be installed from earlier (IEs 4 Linux instructions).

   cd ~/yourtempfolder
   cabextract IE7Setup_G.exe

ls -la shows:
15505200 Dec 7 21:21 IE7-Setup.exe

Extract necessary files:

   cabextract IE7-Setup.exe
   for i in wininet iertutil shlwapi urlmon jscript vbscript \
   ieframe mshtml mshtmled mshtmler advpack
      do
         chmod +x $i.dll
         cp $i.dll ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system/$i.dll
   done

   chmod +x inetcpl.cpl
   cp inetcpl.cpl ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system/

Now normaliz.dll and inetcplc.dll are needed, you can Google them, or use these links:
http://www.down-dll.com/dll/normaliz.zip
http://www.down-dll.com/dll/inetcplc.zip

Unzip both files and copy them to ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system/

   unzip normaliz.zip
   unzip inetcplc.zip
   cp normaliz.dll ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system
   cp inetcplc.dll ~/.ies4linux/ie7/drive_c/windows/system

IE 7 is now installed but will have view pane corruption unless you switch the Wine container to use Windows XP as the operating system:

   WINEPREFIX=~/.ies4linux/ie7 winecfg

At the bottom of the initial page, change ‘Windows’ option to ‘Windows XP’ and press OK.

Make a shortcut:

   cd ~/bin
   ln -s ~/.ies4linux/bin/ie7 ie7

Running ie7 and using the previous browser test site results in:

  • ie7 reports ‘MSIE 7.0′

    I’ve just noticed that IEs 4 Linux actually have included beta support for IE7 in the installer, but notes that it crashes occasionally (IE7). I haven’t noticed this with my install, but I assume they’re pretty identical methods, so there shouldn’t be a difference…

    My install still doesn’t require WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) though.

    Works fine up to “switch the Wine container to use Windows XP as the operating system”…”At the bottom of the initial page”

    At the bottom of *what* initial page? IE7’s? There’s no “Windows” option to change to “Windows XP” there. Is there some other program I’m missing here? Some GUI to Wine?

    Hi!

    I’m Sérgio Lopes, IEs4Linux author. As Michael noted on first comment, latest IEs4Linux beta version already include IE7 installations.

    Our latest version already fixed some bugs you said: no need to authenticate before downloading (we download directly from MS, not from Google), GIFs no more with black backgrounds and conditional comments now work.

    If you can, update your post so users can download our latest beta. The install procedure is always updated with the help of many people. So it’s a good idea to always get IEs4Linux latest version.

    To install IE7 with IEs4Linux use: ./ies4linux –beta-install-ie7

    And thanks for your post about IEs4Linux, specially when requesting support for our project; all people that donation some amount to our project help with its evolution - including all research that is being done around IE7.

    Hmm, trying to copy pngfilt.dll over too (to get transparent PNGs) and wine dies with “Unhandled exception: unimplemented function msvcrt.dll.??_U@YAPAXI@Z”

    … But as far as I can tell, that’s just MSVCRT_operator_new (dlls/msvcrt/heap.c). Well, undname says it’s really void * __cdecl operator new[](unsigned int) (i.e. the array version)…

  14. Penguin said this on January 9th, 2007 at 3:54 am

    Sure conditional comments work, but it’s executing the IE6 hacks. I can’t make the [if IE 7] clause work, anyone else experiencing this problem?

  15. Poing said this on January 9th, 2007 at 3:54 am

    Sorry, it looks like the PNG thing was because ies4linux used some old native version of msvcrt; using winecfg to switch to the builtin version works better.

  16. Penguin said this on January 9th, 2007 at 4:05 am

    By the way I know it should be [ if IE7 ]. And thanks to the guy(s) who took the time to make it work on wine!

    Why oh why would you want to bow to the IE crowd. M$ wins at least a partial victory with this. I manage several web sites and all of them are created for Linux. I really don’t care to cater to the kiddies running Windows.

  18. Penguin said this on January 9th, 2007 at 4:28 am

    @John Abbott:
    Just because you ignore a problem doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The best thing you is show people alternatives, not try to shove them down their throats. You’ll only create Open Source bashers (and possibly a few M$ fanboys) with that attitude.

  19. AusIV said this on January 9th, 2007 at 5:12 am

    Not everyone can ignore the ~60% of people who still use IE. Sure, if you’re running a blog or something where it doesn’t really matter if you get get hits, you can ignore how it looks in IE.

    Anyone who does websites professionally or semi-professionally can’t ignore 60% of the user base.

    For example, a while back I put together a website for a graduate student. They were trying to get people to complete a survey. I developed it under Firefox, then tested it under IE 6 (this was before 7). It wasn’t compatible. I wasn’t going to get paid if I just slapped a notice that said “This site requires Firefox,” because nobody is going to download a new browser just to take this survey.

    I wouldn’t say MS wins any kind of victory with this. It better enables web developers to move to Linux without having to keep Windows on hand for testing. That’s going to hurt Microsoft a lot more than having one site on the net that’s incompatible with IE.

For two reasons - to be able to test designs and visit sites that have special affinity for IE. Of course it will still be required to do a final test on IE on Windows, but this can help a lot during the design process. The technique involves installing IEs4Linux and then using Google’s customized IE7 installer. The IE versions run on wine which is a free implementation of Windows on Unix. [...]

    However, I’m stuck with one glitch there. After installing the IE7 thing and all settings complete when i open the browser and try using Tools > Internet Options to check if my proxy settings are correct i set a message”This operation has been cancelled due to restrctions in effect on this computer. please contact your systemn admin…”.

    I’ve made the changes in teh IE6 installation and it works fine for me (the proxy thing). I has made a copy of the ie6 folder for ie7 as instructed only after ie6 was working correctly.

    Any aidea on how to debug this thing out? or some ugly hack on how to set the proxy used by IE7 without using the UI?

    madhur, if you have configured ie6 before copying into ie7, then if you will look into your user.reg at proxy settings you will find that the settings are ok, but this will not help if ie7 is failing to connect through this proxy to the internet. maybe if you have somewhere a working copy/install of ie7, you can compare that user.reg and see what needs to be changed so ie7 will work through proxy on linux too… (mine is not :) )

    does it support javascript? vb?

    how much is the differences in supported technologies between win32 and this linux versions?

    thank you

    I recommend you check out the IEs4Linux link at the very top of the page - Sérgio is working hard on it. Flash works as far as I know.

    I think Google Toolbar and other things count as non-important tasks though, the primary goal of running IE on linux is to provide you with a single platform that can test and debug websites on.
