Did not run winecfg at this point. ~/.wine is usually autogenerated when you run wine or wineconfig for the first time, right? And you might want to check for diffs between your package and the sources -- especially if they're different releases, which may have vast differences... you should either use the package or the source, not both intermingled, right? > The application I'm trying to run is a proprietary one (in the sense that > it was never widely sold, if sold at all).

Didn't you back up ~/.wine/config ? If not, can't you just reextract your ~/.wine configuration files from your source tarball? > Then, how do I debug the reason why the one .exe cannot seem to invoke the > second .exe on the same "drive"? Oh, so *that's* why you didn't include debug input... try looking at manpages for wine and winedbg, I believe, shall help you. As they say, "RTFM". > TIA, > > Rich > > -- > Dr. Richard B.
