关于“wine_gecko.cab”。。。
最近的ReactOS测试版ISO安装的时候，会要下载“wine_gecko.cab”。因为网路太远，又单线程，速度很慢。虽然跳过去无所谓。但有时候还是很必要用到的。
以下是在官方论坛里问到的回答。（2010年06月07日）

First of all, wine gecko is not really necessary for normal OS running. We include it because mshtml winetests need it to work. If you are building ROS yourself, you can easily add it to your ISO, by placing it in modules\optional\ directory and rebuilding. Otherwise, you can just safely skip it in 2nd stage (it wont be downloaded back then anyway).

I downloaded manually wine_gecko.cab
Next I installed ReactOS and I skipped the download of the package.
Now, what should an user do for installing this CAB manually?
Is it possible to do it, perhaps with a batch file?
Where should it be unpacked?
Thanks.

Unpack into C:\Reactos\system32\gecko\<gecko version>\
(resulting path is e.g. C:\Reactos\system32\gecko\1.0.0\wine_gecko\*.*)
EDIT:
Then create (if not existing) following path in registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wine\MSHTML\<gecko version>
Create a string there called "GeckoPath" and its value "C:\Reactos\system32\gecko\<gecko version>\wine_gecko"
Modify all values appropriately to your actual working conditions.

There is another way.
Have wine_gecko.cab on a cd, then when ROS goes down to a re-boot from first install, start the computer up with an operating system that can access the harddrive, such as a linux live cd (I have used puppy) and transfer the cab to C:\Reactos. Having transfered the file, re-boot the computer into ROS and the cab should then be found by ROS.

WIne Gecko is used by mshtml.dll, and as thus for all apps which use the normal Internet Explorer based way to Display HTML rendered. And yes, it will stay that way for now.
