Hello, Well I tested it and Worldmap installed like a charm, whereas Metroguide Europe MPS 7 does not (MDV 2006 with the default Wine version). Like I did on 'doz I copied the CD on the HDD to install it, but the installer for MPS7 Europe does only launch from the HDD and not from the CD. It asks for a file but doesn't find it either on the CD nor on the HDD. I'm quite sure there's a foul's trick to install the stuff, and I'm gonna look for the previous posts in this NG.
