My original thread got taken off-topic and seems to not want to get back on-topic. Does anybody have any ideas about my question? Here's the original text of my question. Thanks for any help. Wine 0.9 installation. I installed Internet Explorer using the manual procedure in the applications database. I then changed the version reporting to Windows 2000 using winecfg and then went to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com which went ok until I got a "Must be Administrator". I notice that there is a stub that is IsNTAdmin that seems to be returning 0. Is there any way to be administrator on my own box with an installation that is under my home directory (~/.wine)? Perhaps some sort of "runas" command? _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
