IEs4Linux


IEs4Linux is a free and open source script that allows a user to run Internet Explorer using Wine. It is possible to install Internet Explorer versions Internet [Explorer 5|5], 5.5|5.5], and 6, along with partial functionality of IE7.
This application is oriented towards web developers: it allows users of non-Windows operating systems to view their web pages in a similar manner to how they look on Windows and user who need to use web applications targeted to IE users.
There was a blog post on January 5, 2011, announcing that the developers are now working to support IE9 and will soon release a new version after almost three years of inactivity, however there was never a new release.

Technical notes

Version 2.99.0.1 does not work out-of-the-box on newer Wine and KDE versions. The solution is to create a symlink with
sudo ln -sv /usr/bin/winecfg /usr/bin/wineprefixcreate
and then run with the command line option.

Discontinuation

IEs4Linux has not received any updates in 16 years as of 2024.
