Hi Joachim, I believe I know now why the download didn't work: Inside our company, we use a central script to determine the proxy setting (something in the form of 'http://dusx/dusx.dat'). Konquerer, which is the browser used by winetools, doesn't work with this setting (firefox does), and so the download doesn't work ??? However, I downloaded SplashKiller.zip. Where do I have to put the two files (.exe and .dll) so that it is detected by winetools? Thanks again for your good work; this is amazing and I discover new things everyday (like the 'dos' command -- very funny !!) --- Joachim von Thadden <thadden@xxxxxx> wrote: > Am Mi, Mär 16, 2005 at 06:54:29 +0100 schrieb Peter > Wahl: > > Thanks! dcom98.exe is now in ~/winetools/sys, but > I > > had to tweak ~/.wine/winetools.log; since I didn't > > install it the official way, there wasn't a > correct > > entry. > > It would have been easier just to install again. > > > I continued the base setup and right I'm working > on > > installing IE6 (english).
