Hi I am running the .exe file from the directory, where it is located.

Result of running the ls -l is here: http://pastebin.com/Bi68VAMN
i.e. I think the JRE is there allright. It runs OK on windows.
Maybe I can try to use the absolute path in the config file.

But there is a question - what is the root folder for application run within wine? (is it / or my home folder? or it is c:\?)
