[Wine]Installation issue?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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".


However,

$  wine d:\Setup
$  wine d:Setup
$  wine d:\Setup.exe
$  wine d:Setup.exe
$  wine D:Setup.exe

all produce the following response.

wine:  cannot find 'filename'

To further test the wine installation, I copied the Setup.exe file on the cd to my /home/user/ directory.

After a brief pause at the command, $ wine Setup.exe , another prompt ($) appears.

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.
