To the best of my knowledge, I have the most recent WINE. I only installed it a week ago. I just got a reply from the CFE people. I need to have VB 6.0 sp6 runtime & MDAC 2.8. I installed both of those, but I still get the same error I am in the process of installing a VM of windows 7, so I cannot check your solution until that is done. (install doesn't like me doing other shiet) thanks
