Dear Derek
I am very grateful for this suggestion. I start to get very nervous at
this stage as downloading applications and installing them has seldom
gone smoothly. Anything Windows I am fine with but still learning
Linux. Even knowing which file to download confuses me. Binaries and
packages or source archive? Therefore reading the documentation is
pointless as I do not know the basics.
For example this web page
http://www.winehq.com/?announce=latest
presents me with too many options because I lack the experience to know
if I should be downloading
http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-0.9.35.tar.bz2
or
wine-0.9.30-mdk.i586.rpm
from the distro specific link. Which ever one it is I would not know
what to do next.
Do you mind guiding me through the upgrading step by step? I realise
that this will take several postings but I am likely to learn from the
experience.
Wait to hear
Stephen

Hi Stephen ...
the latest versions of Wine have a utility that should create a menu
item for you in KDE - you should upgrade to the latest version of wine,
then re-install your app.

Dear All
After various failed attempts at using Wine I have installed this from
the Mandriva 2006 DVD. I have version “Wine 20050725”.
I have installed Paint Shop Pro as follows:
As a user I typed: “Winecfg” and when in the configuration programme I
went to the Application tab > Add Application button > browse to the
installation executable: “/mnt/cdrom/autorun.exe” > Open button > Select
the Windows version of XP. Press Close button
With the Configuration program closed and still as a user I typed:
“wine /mnt/cdrom/autorun.exe”
and followed the installation instructions.
After installation I managed to run Paint Shop Pro by using File Manager
and navigating my way via the hidden directory:
“/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Jasc Software Inc/Paint Shop Pro 7/PSP.exe”
which I double clicked.
I assume I should be able to install an icon somewhere in “Program”.
With “Program” running I press File > New > then put a dot in Progam,
Press OK. Nothing happens.
I cannot find anything about this on the
http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index tutorial website.
Any advice on how to make an entry for starting the application without
having to navigate my way through File Manager is welcome.
Thanks
Stephen
