Ok that's as far as I can get: Code: #!/bin/sh # requires that the necessary files are in a directory "trados-installation" in home - "trados-installation directory must contain the trados installation file, currently msvcr70.dll, fusion.dll and secur32.dll (not for long). # To launch the script, install Wine, save this script as filename.sh, make a directory with the needed files and enter in the console: $ sh filename.sh. wineprefixcreate cd ~/.wine/drive_c/ if test -f SDLTrados2007_PRO_SP2_835.exe then echo "file exists" else cp ~/trados-installation/SDLTrados2007_PRO_SP2_835.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/ fi cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 if test -f msvcr70.dll then echo "file exists" else cp ~/trados-installation/msvcr70.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 wine regsvr32.exe msvcr70.dll fi if test -f fusion.dll then echo "file exists" else cp ~/trados-installation/fusion.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 wine regsvr32.exe fusion.dll fi if test -f secur32.dll then echo "file exists" else cp ~/trados-installation/secur32.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 wine regsvr32.exe secur32.dll fi cd ../../../ wget -nd www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks winetricks -q corefonts gecko vcrun6 wsh56 fakeie6 vcrun2005 winver=winxp cd ~/.wine/drive_c wine SDLTrados2007_PRO_SP2_835.exe exit That's enough for somebody not used to the console to start the installation of Trados. To get further, I have to find some button pushing script (it's working perfectly manually) or find some instructions about it, for which I do not have much the time at the moment. I must however add that the installer's progress was better on 0.9.58 than on 0.9.59. I did try to do cabextract to isolate the individual files but it did not work and did not bring me to the goal of a silent install. Trados is complaining in this case that this update (although the full installation file) is only for installer version of the SP1 or the previous version and for earlier versions I should contact SDL.
