Better way to first try to install under Wine and see if it works. Then (and only then) you may try to bypass installation if program doesn't work without installing (that is, have some stupid registry keys that cannot be created at startup of the software because of stupidity of its developers). You may also want to monitor what files programs create, change or use under Windows. To do this, run VMWare or QEmu with clean Windows...
The reason I'm doing this instead of straight wine is because the three programs I mentioned /do/ fail to install. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
