hello I installed wine-20030813.tar.gz on redhat9 and it seems to work. I tried to install quicken98. autorun windows application box comes up "would you like to install the program on your hard disk" yes a setup box appears "setup in preparing the install shield wizard.." the bar goes to 100% and then nothing happens quicken does not seem to be installed anywhere. In the xterm is the following. [mick@scones mick]$ wine d:/install.exe Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A: err:wave:OSS_WaveOutInit /dev/mixer1: not found! err:wave:OSS_WaveInInit /dev/mixer1: not found! err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll gdi.exe still not found - 16-bit dll or version conflict. err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll gdi.exe still not found - 16-bit dll or version conflict.

I include this because the two may be related. I guess I have a problem that is stopping me installing anything this is what is in c:/windows [mick@scones windows]$ ls -la total 840 drwxrwxr-x 8 mick mick 4096 Sep 13 09:54 . drwxrwxr-x 5 mick mick 4096 Sep 12 15:56 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 mick mick 4096 Aug 28 13:12 command drwxrwxr-x 2 mick mick 4096 Aug 28 13:19 Desktop drwxrwxr-x 2 mick mick 4096 Sep 12 15:56 Fonts -rwxrwxr-x 1 mick mick 314880 Jun 2 1997 IsUninst.exe -rw-rw-r-- 1 mick mick 101 Sep 12 15:56 lotus.ini -rw-rw-r-- 1 mick mick 36864 Nov 4 1995 luln10en.dll -rw-rw-r-- 1 mick mick 12149 Aug 30 1995 luln10en.hlp -rwxrwxr-x 1 mick mick 442368 Nov 4 1995 lunin10.exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 34 Aug 28 13:12 notepad.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/notepad.exe.so drwxrwxr-x 3 mick mick 4096 Aug 28 13:12 Profiles lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 34 Aug 28 13:12 regedit.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/regedit.exe.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 35 Aug 28 13:12 rundll32.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/rundll32.exe.so drwxrwxr-x 3 mick mick 4096 Aug 28 13:12 Start Menu drwxrwxr-x 2 mick mick 4096 Sep 12 15:56 system -rw-r--r-- 1 mick mick 240 Aug 28 13:12 system.ini lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 38 Aug 28 13:12 uninstall.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/uninstaller.exe.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 34 Aug 28 13:12 winhelp.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/winhelp.exe.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 mick mick 34 Aug 28 13:12 winhlp32.exe -> /usr/local/lib/wine/winhelp.exe.so -rw-rw-r-- 1 mick mick 449 Aug 28 13:13 win.ini [mick@scones windows]$ are those permissions right for win.ini and system.ini ? help appreciated. regards mick _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
