Use IE on OSX with Wine
First, make sure you have Homebrew and XQuartz. Then:
brew install wine
brew install winetricks
winetricks ie8
This installs ie8. You can then run it with:
wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore'
It's pretty buggy, though... both ie7 and ie6 run better.
Using 2 different versions together
IE doesn't let you install two versions together. To work around this, you'll need to install them into different WINEPREFIX
es.
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/prefixes/ie8
mkdir -p ~/.wine/prefixes/ie8
winetricks ie8
And run that version with:
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/prefixes/ie8
wine 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore'
...ie6 and ie7 work the same, just change 8
to the version number you want.
