教你如何在Linux上运行IE7

from http://www.linux-ren.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=132

IE的各个版本都有所区别，对于一位使用Linux的网站开发者而言需要在各种浏览器下检验兼容性(IE 5-7, Firefox，Opera)，也希望避免Microsoft的Genuine Advantage下载验证（现在Yahoo，Google等都提供了各自的优化版）。WebExpose上推出了在Linux上运行IE7的快速指南，主要利用了IEs 4 Linux和Google定制版的IE7。

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′
