IE7 Cannot find '%ws'

Hi,

I am excited to see IE7 and Silverlight working (yay streaming movies on Netflix). However when I go to sign into to Netflix, the browser tries to download the page instead of displaying it. I think this may have to due with how IE7 is handling a specific MIME type. There is a wine bug about this Bug 17136. Since I'm not using an officially supported build, I won't file a bug here about this issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions for working around this issue? Thanks!

Marc

On a related note, Windows Firefox 3 installs. When I try to watch netflix movies on it it first complains about not having the right fonts. I copy those fonts directly into the bottle's Windows\fonfs directory. Try again. The window starts doing it swirly Silverlight thing and completes 2.5 circles then hangs (this is usually when the movie is loaded and starts playing on Windows).

The exact error I get is "Internet Explorer cannot download %ws." Googling for this error returns nothing but an unrelated codeweavers ticket. Has anyone else experienced this issue with IE7? Any ideas as to what it is?

Issue still occurs with the 4/27/09 nightly build.
