[quote]Your log indicates that the partition containing the .exe file you're trying to run has probably been mounted with the noexec option. This means Wine isn't allowed to map the .exe code into memory with executable permission. You'll need to change the mount options on that volume. [/quote] That was the problem. Many thanks. Also, yes, this is a vfat partition, that I use to share music files with windows. I will reinstall to an ext3. Didn't know that was an issue. Thanks again.
