Perhaps I didn't put in enough information. Here is an udpate: 1. I am now on Fedora 8 2. The OS is up to date. I ran: sudo yum upgrade 3. On the writeitnow site I chose the xp/vista binary 4. When I installed wine I ran: sudo yum install wine jack-audio-connection-kit i386 0.103.0-5.fc8 updates 139 k libfreebob i386 1.0.3-1.fc7 fedora 154 k wine-capi i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 25 k wine-cms i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 37 k wine-core i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 10 M wine-esd i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 35 k wine-jack i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 37 k wine-ldap i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 86 k wine-nas i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 23 k wine-tools i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 619 k wine-twain i386 0.9.56-1.fc8 updates 46 k After this I started the installation the easy way by right clicking the .exe and saying run with wine. Then it dumps with the error message from before.
