You may use the parameter /manual to download or manually select a different VM. > A guy got the program to run on Ubuntu: > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610721 It looks like you're running into http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11019 / http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11818 which were caused by commits later in December. We don't have a handle on those yet. I verified that wine-0.9.51 doesn't have that problem. Installing wine-0.9.51 from winehq.org, then doing rm -rf .wine wine install.exe (writeitnow310s's installer) fails with err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR71.dll (which is needed by "...lient\\jvm.dll") not found Working around that with wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks sh wintricks vcrun2003 (no longer needed with current wine, btw) got me to the next error, err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance failed (0x800401f0) to create CLSID: {208d2c60-3aea-1069-a2d7-08002b30309d} (My Network Places) IID: {000214e6-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} (IID_IShellFolder) ... 0029:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileW(0a9a0128 L"C:\\windows\\temp\\install4jError23323log",c0000000,00000003,00000000,00000001,00000080,00000000) ret=6d3b90d8 That file contains java.lang.InternalError: Could not bind shell folder to interface at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.initSpecial(Native Method) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.<init>(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2.getNetwork(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.getFileSystemPath(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.getChildByPath(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2.getPersonal(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.listFiles(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.getFiles(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.components.FSRootChooser$FSRootModel.<init>(Unknown Source) ... which jibes well with the app needing My Network Places to install. Fun fun fun. So I don't really have much help for you, sorry. Get somebody to implement a stub My Network Places, maybe :-) I'll file a bug. - Dan
