Message-ID: <20080822060451.ishikawa@yk.rim.or.jp> Hi, Thank you for the great package. I found IEview very useful on my XP installations. (Japanese versions of XP and FireFox.) Lately, I installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit (Japanese version) on another PC and installed firefox 3.0.1. Then I installed the latest version of IE view available on Aug 22 (JST). Unfortunately, something is wrong with IE View under Visa 64 bit. "View this page in IE" menu doesn't appear on the tab menu. (Always view this page in IE in Tools menu DOES appear.) This was puzzling since such a menu entry does appear under Win/XP and is very useful. Not only this, after IE View got loaded, firefox doesn't restart automatically after it was instructed to do so because of new add-on installation, etc.. If it is insructed to reboot, it certainly ends by closing all the windows, etc., but it doesn't come back(!). So I had to remove IE view, then automatic reboot works as expected. I suspect Vista "64 bit" version is causing the problem, but who knows? Again, thank you for the great package. I just wanted to report a possibly unknown problem.

Well, *blush*. I got confused with IE Tab and IE view(!) My set up is - one XP PC at home (and another XP PC at office) These both run IE Tab. - One AMD 9150e x4 computer at home that has linux and Vista 64 in dual-boot setup. On this second machine, I was toying with IE view and IE tab. You were right. I got mixed up and installed IE view on Vista 64-bit by mistake while I tried to install IE View under linux on the second machine. Thank you for the great package. I installed IE view under linux on the said machine successfully. I also succeeded installing IE6 using IEs4Linux package and set IE6 as the preferred external program to view an IE-only page as was mentioned in your web page. http://ieview.mozdev.org/ieview-linux.html Now I can run IE6 under linux that is invoked with IE View from FireFox (!). One subtle difference is, while your web page quotes > I had to modify the iexplore-launcher script by replacing: > > wine "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "$@" & > > with the path and executable that IEs4Linux uses to launch IE6: > > /home/[your user id]/bin/ie6 "$@" & all I had to do was simply inserted my path for ie6 which was /home/ishikawa/bin/ie6 in the path for IE and left out '"$@" &' part. I am not sure if I need to insert "$@" into the optional argument part: right now, I didn't and so it is empty. I only checked microsoft sites so far, and they seem to work more or less with this set up. Again, thank you for the great package. While IE Tab is very useful under Windows environment, it doesn't run under linux. With Wine and IEs4Linux, IE View in Firefox performs an almost miracle to invoke a web browsing using IE6 under linux while we enjoy the comfort of FireFox. I will look forward to the day of IE7 being supported. Happy Hacking! Sincerely, Chiaki Ishikawa I replaced IE View with IE Tab on Vista 64 and all is well there.

The restart problem of FireFox was unfortunately is a real one. Somehow, the automatic restart after IE view installation didn't work. Hmm... I have no idea... Any idea how to debug this under Windows Vista 64-bit with a window newbie? (I mean, I am not that familiar with Vista, and JavaScript debugging.) Chiaki Paul Roub wrote: > Thanks for the report.

Being the "David" who contributed that command line up there, I could only report it as the way it was setup on my Linux system. I'm not a Linux commandline guru, so cannot tell you what the "$@" and the ampersand do. When WINE supports IE7, I expect IEView will support it just fine on Linux. Last I checked, IEs4Linux wasn't successfully supporting IE7. At least, on my system, it doesn't. -- David gnome at hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
