In addition to what below, a naive question. I "installed" ch with the command gigi@debian:~$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine ch.exe Could the problem of windows system service be circumvented by an OVERRIDES? It is naive but I expect a NO, as life would otherwise be easy. fp _________________ You may well be right: I have looked at the chHOST properties (windows): integration with the software house. In tryoing to understand better your suggestion, I came across <http://www.codeproject.com/system/xyntservice.asp> Could it be a solution ? (albeit probably so difficult not to be at my reach) Thank you Daniel francesco pietra On Thursday 04 May 2006 09:47, Daniel Skorka wrote: > Francesco Pietra <frapietra@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I made a little progress on trying to run windows program ch on wine > > 0.9.12.
