Thanks Michael for your explanation. By chance I found an easy solution, MagiC PC runs under wine!
I had copied the MagiC installation files in /root/.wine/fake_windows/WINDOWS/Temp and then Setup gave the error message, see below.
Now I've copied the files in /root and Setup did work!
MagiC is a multitasking OS for Atari, Windows and Mac.

I've wine installed as part of SuSE Linux 9.1 Pro and it works fine for several windows prgs. I try to install the Atari emulator Magic PC (because it is better than STonX). Wine starts the installer of MagiC, Setup.exe, which gives the message "can't open ... Setup.ex_". Setup.exe works under win98 but under wine it looks for itself with the wrong extension .ex_
Most setup files are self-extracting executables, which then run a compressed setup program contained within - that's why in many setup programs at the beginning you get a dialog box indicating that it's preparing its xxx setup wizard to help you install the program. It's possible that Setup.ex_ is a data file that is supposed to be executed after the selfextract routine to run the program. It might also be an issue with poorly designed routines that call other programs. Can you give a context to this error, such as what generated the error message (the program or WINE), and what portions of the program did work, and any error messages that might have been displayed on the underlying console (assuming you start it from an xterm)?
MagiC PC test version can be downloaded from www.application-systems.de/atari/
I'd look into this more, but I'm short on time, don't understand the language, and don't have time to look for a computer translation site. Might look into it later. See if anyone else helps.
