Do you have other native DLLs installed? > You might want to start over with a clean .wine. > Well... the plot thickens. I completely removed .wine and started again and things worked muc h better. All I did was rm -rf .wine sh winetricks dotnet20 (working this time) wine channel4_on_demand.exe (worked once I had changed winecfg to windows XP) Now I tried to run 4oD by changing to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Channel4/4oD and wine C4VoDClientConfig.exe (the only .exe there) this gives wine C4VoDClientConfig.exe fixme:process:IsWow64Process (0xffffffff 0x33f8dc) stub! fixme:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory MEM_WRITE_WATCH type not supported fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"mscorlib.resources" fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"mscorlib.resources" fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System" fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Drawing" fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Data" fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Security" fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub fixme:ole:CoGetContextToken stub and returns the prompt. That's quite a lot of progress in general but it still doesn't run. Raphael
