Yes.

Using this command line I have a JavaScript error in a popup:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520009
(NS_ERROR_FILE_INVALID_PATH)[nsILocalFile.target]" nsresult: "0x80520009
(NS_ERROR_FILE_INVALID_PATH)" location: "JS frame :: 
chrome://ieview/content/ieviewOverlay.js :: ieViewLaunch :: line 323"
data: no]


However I found a way that works just fine !!!

For some reason if the script is in /usr/bin i get the error message I
reproduced before.
If you put it somewhere else it doesn't make any error but it doesn't
work either.
So I reproduced what is made for mozilla on my distribution (gentoo):
1) put a script in /usr/libexec/iexplore-launcher with the following
content:

#!/bin/bash

main() {
  wine "c:\program files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe" "$@" &
  return 1;
}

# Call the main sub, which is defined at the top of this script
main "$@"

2) put a link in /usr/bin that links to the script:
ln -s /usr/libexec/iexplore-launcher /usr/bin/iexplore

3)set /usr/bin/iexplore in ie view configuration

and everything works !


You might want to add these informations to your website as it might
interest other users as well (web developpers, people who need activex,
etc.)

Thank you for your help
