CrossOver Support - Community Forums

My primary motivation for installing crossover is to use IE on linux with Siebel's horrible website. It requires a specifically configured version of IE6. I've installed cxoffice 7 (demo) and IE 6 but when I connect to the siebel site the configuration checker complains that:

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (Q824145) or above is required for environments running with Internet Explorer 6.0. Microsoft makes this patch and related information available through their support organization or the following download location: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9D8543E9-0E2B-46C9-B6C612DE03860465&displaylang=en. The “Windows Update” feature may provide this and other valuable updates to your browser environment.

I've tried installing windows service packs, and the specific IE service above but it just doesn't seem to work. The IE about box says it is at 6.0.2800.1106 Siebel wants 6.0.2800.1400. How do I patch IE to this level? I don't mind it its horrible to do so because at the moment I have to use windows over rdp on a slow vpn to do this,,, and siebel is slow to start with.

You can apply/install some updates to IE6 manually.

First, download the update to your desktop

Open CrossOver and choose to install 'Unsupported Software'

Browse to the location of the update

Specify the bottle IE6 is located in (ignoring the warning you will receive)

And install.

Sometimes the updates seem to 'hang' (it looks like nothing is happening) but then apply. Sometimes they are unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, the link you have supplied above does not point me to an update to attempt these steps with.

I have done as you suggested. The update completes without errors, but the version number of IE does not change. I suppose I'm at a dead end :(
