.bz2 file is OK, but debug.log within it isn't. it just contain this error: bash: cd: home/melanie/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/msetup4.exe: No such file or directory Okay, here is more detailed instructions: 1) Execute this: cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/your_application Replace "your_application" with your application' program folder if it has one. Please note that you must use "\" before all spaces! This is important. You cannot ommit spaces or leave 'em without "\". "\" is just escape character - it tells to the shell that next symbol shouldn't have any special meaning and it is a part of the file or directory name in this case. (Please note that this step have more importance than you may think. Many Windows application require you to cd to the directory with the executable; file managers like Nautilus and Konqueror will NOT do this - they always set your home directory as current one. If you try to execute such applications with full path they will fail to work. Some Win-apps work even if your current directory is any directory on your system but you cannot assume this if you not sure. You may want to read brief and short intruduction to typical problems when using WINE here: http://madewokherd.livejournal.com/5082.html ; if you need more info you can read http://www.winehq.org/ ) 2) Execute: ls You must see executable of your program in the output. If not, make sure that you in right directory (by executing command "pwd" to see your current directory). 3) Execute: wine program_name.exe Substitute "program_name" with the name of your program executable. Make sure that your program can run and give you the error. You will have some output in your terminal. If this works as expected, execute: wine program_name.exe &> debug.log And do everything neccessary to get the error from your program. Then close it correctly if possible (but even if not this isn't very important). 4) Execute: less debug.log You can scroll up/down with up/down arrow keys. You must find there terminal output from WINE. If you find something else (for example, error about non-existing file) make sure you followed instructions correctly; in worst case you can ask additional questions. 5) If everything is okay, execute: bzip2 -9 debug.log Parameter "-9" means maximum possible compression level. You will have debug.log.bz2 file with compressed terminal output from WINE. If you want you may try to open this file in your favorite file manager (something like Konqueror or Nautilus) but this is unnessery check if content of original debug.log was OK.
