Oliver, I've found an ubuntu tutorial that suggests some winetricks installs. These are generally windows applications needed by an application, and winetricks makes the installation of them easier.

In the interim I'll try the install in Ubuntu 8.10 and post my success. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967618 -Tres On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 7:30 PM, A.
