I don't want WineTools to do anything to the Cedega setup. I was jsut stating that it was on the machine. Nothing more. It has it's own directory stucture that WineTools doesn't know about.

If you are interested in looking at it then create a completely new user on your system and just run from there as someone would using WineTools for the first time before running Wine. If you see the error great. If not I'll look again here. I can also try running Wine before running WineTools to let Wine to the initial setup if you prefer. My hope would be to document the preferred way in your README. > > > At this point I want to install IE6SP1. Is your download in German or English? > > It's in German for now.

The file I downloaded is: [mark@Godzilla mark]$ ls -al ie6* -rw-rw-r-- 1 mark mark 491768 Dec 31 11:30 ie6setup.exe [mark@Godzilla mark]$ When I told WineTools to run this it started but then just hung and never moved forward. I eventually quit as I had other things to do. Does this file look right? Is it the right size, etc? It's not IE6 itself, but some download program that goes and gets IE6. Is this what you wanted me to find and download? I got it from M$'s site. This is going to be a great tool and a big help I think. I tried this some time ago when I found it on Frank's site. Your updates are very good and helpful to new user types like me.
