I'm a newbie, sorry in advance :p I have been searching here and reading threads and can't seem to find an answer, hence this post. I saw a nice example of what I am trying to do so I'll copy that format and perhaps it will illustrate better than I can explain. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy, 64bit. My only goal currently is to install the redist, using winetricks is the proper method I think? After having no luck, I started from scratch to test, spacing added for readability: (I get tons of these preloader range warnings) Code: mason@mason-desktop:~$ uname -a Linux mason-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux mason@mason-desktop:~$ wine --version preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 wine-0.9.61 mason@mason-desktop:~$ mv .wine .wine.backup mason@mason-desktop:~$ wineprefixcreate preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 Could not load Mozilla.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I left anything important out. Thank you
