This means that almost all Windows apps must be run like this: cd $WINEPREFIX/path/to/directory/holding/the/executable wine theapp.exe In your case NOT doing this means that .jre and .lib will treated as relative to the directory you issued the command in, probably $HOME, and so the the program won't be able to find them. Doing the initial 'cd' makes the current directory the one containing the program, so .jre and .lib will be relative to the program's location and hence they will point to where the program expects them to point. It rather looks as though you didn't do that. So, try it. If it doesn't work, post the result of running ls -l . ./jre ./lib in the directory containing the exe that wine starts. If there's much in those directories, i.e. there's more than 30 lines or so of output, please put it in pastebin, the temporary storage website, and post a link here. Martin
