Hi, I've been messing with Wine and WineTools off and on for a couple of days now. In general I can certainly see the bright future out there, but so far it eludes me. I've used various versions of Wine successfully before, but with recent Wine I'm having little luck. I'm on an FC2 machine with a custom kernel but can switch to Gentoo if required. I've tried both wine-20041019 and wine-20041201 with identical results. I'm hoping that a Wine guru somewhere can lead me in the right direction. 1) If I have a user's account that has never run Wine before then what is the proper way to run Wine the very first time. Assume that the user has no .wine directory and that Wine was just built in some subdirectory from source. I've been using one of the following 3 commands to get the .wine directory built: wine --version wine notepad wine regedit All three commands seem to get .wine built, but is this the right way to start? I'm never sure what to do with wineinstall as it seems to want to build code which isn't appropriate for all user accounts. 2) WineTools won't install IE6 so far no matter what I try. It always hangs somewhere in the middle of downloading or installing IE6. However, outside of WineTools I can execute the same IE6 setup program and it works correctly. I fear it has somethign to do with the two commands that WineTools requires for setting up links where the second command didn't work for me. Hopefully someone can answer these questions in the next day or two and I can try again from scratch. If there are any other hidden directories or files that need to be set up or removed before I retry, please let me know. All I see today are the .wine directory and a winetools log file. I'd really like to make this work. thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
