I can't seem to get this to install - period. I keep getting this error message:

"Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system."

I have no idea how to fix it. I can install Internet Explorer on WINE outside of PlayOnLinux, but there seems to be something about adding in PlayOnLinux that makes it think I already have IE8 installed. I have no idea why. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello all,

I'm trying to use IE8 on PlayOnLinux on Arch Linux. But the problem is that I'm behind a proxy server ... and until know I couldn't connect to the internet or to the intranet.

I've the environment variables correctly set and I can browse the Internet using the default IE8 "winetricks browser" (but it doesn't work for Intranet sites either).

I've the proxy server set on playonlinux gui and I've tried to edit directly on windows registry of the playonlinux installation ... but with no success.

Could you please help?

wine 1.9.17-1

winetricks 20160724-1

playonlinux 4.2.10-1
Linux hostname 4.7.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 20 23:02:56 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

It installed correctly and is working. But it seemes to crash on some websites and has a black box around forward and back navigation buttons. Other than that I got it to work.

Hi  I have installed ie8 and works fine, but  java is not working I installed in the same virtual disk java  but java not loading....pls help me out.

 

I suggest to include java in your script...

 

tnaks

 

It crashes when you go to a website with SSL. Unfortunatly, the default homepage is set to https://winehq.org, which makes it crash just seconds after startup. This needs to be fixed soon. (P.S. I have Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.)
