Greetings from a noob.
I am having a little difficulty trying out Wine-20050111 on a fully updated athlon fedora core 2 system and hope other wine users can help. Review of the wine-users.pdf file included in the wine rpm and scanning some of the wine-users mailing list archives have not pointed to any solutions.
I am trying to install Turbotax from a Turbtax distribution CD. (The only windows application available.)
Winetools (winetools-2.1.0-jo.i386.rpm) was used to setup wine (wine-20050111-1fc2winehq.athlon.rpm). xdialog-2.1.1-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm was also installed to support winetools.
Wine apparently installed. Typing wine at a console prompt produces the
short, two or three line wine help text.
Typing winecfg at a prompt produces a tabbed dialog box showing d: =
/dev/cdrom. /dev/cdrom is mounted. Per the wine-users.pdf, care has
been taken to see that the fstab parameters for /dev/cdrom include "unhide". (/dev/cdrom/ /cdrom iso9660 ro, noauto,users,unhide 0 0)
However,
$ wine d:\Setup $ wine d:Setup $ wine d:\Setup.exe $ wine d:Setup.exe $ wine D:Setup.exe $ wine Setup.exe
all produce the following response.
wine: cannot find 'filename'
To further test the wine installation, I copied the TurboTax CD Setup.exe file to my /home/user/ directory.
After a brief pause at the command, $ wine Setup.exe , another prompt ($) appeared.
system.log entries read -- localhost wine: Registering binary handler for windows applications localhost rc: Starting wine succeeded
winetools.log reads -- *new* fake windows drive created at dd:mm:yyyyy hh:mm:ss
installed-software file is empty.
TIA for your helpful ideas and suggestions.
