+----[ To Wine Users <fernan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (14.Jul.2004 21:16): | | Hi! | | I'm a new wine user. I've installed wine-20040808 on | FreeBSD-4.10p2 from a package. | [snipped] | ... and then following what winetools does, I | tried to install a font (andale32.exe) or dcom98.exe. | | In any case, and always starting from a clean ~/.wine dir | (clean in the sense of newly made and populated, not in the | sense of being empty) wine apparently does finish the | install (a window appears telling me that the installation | was successful) but it does not return (i.e. i don't get a | new shell prompt). And yes, I dismiss the window. [snipped] | +----] I solved it by compiling wine (20040505) from source, using the FreeBSD port. Now I was able to install all the fonts and dcom98. But more importantly, I needed to run a custom application, apparently written in Visual Fox Pro. I had to copy a few DLLs from a Win95 installation and change the windows version to "nt40" but I got it working, thanks to an excellent tutorial by Paul McNett: http://www.openfox.org/wc.dll/sections/divulge/36 I'm now testing the installation of other apps (Acrobat reader and IE6). Seems like I'm just there.
