James, still reading all the emails and trying to get this
working. Here's a terminal display which shows log.txt at the end of a
line. How can I send this to you or display the .txt? Bob

You have to install the program first and then run it from where you installed it to.

Not sure what you meant by non-priviliged user, but I tried again
to run hwsoliii.exe after removing .wine. To try and run it, I clicked
the icon on the desktop, and in a terminal, as user, I cd to the
desktop, and then typed wine hwsoliii.exe. Both these tries gave the
same error message attached.
Where are the user files that I should remove? All I did was remove
the .wine and the .exe file which I had in several places. Now it's just
on the desktop. Tks. Guess this will work eventually. :-) Bob

Subject: Deleting .wine as root
Hi James. Not sure how to delete .wine as root. I have to cd to
/home/benjie1 and the .wine is there.
Can I delete it using yum in fedora?
No, yum is a package manager. You would delete the Wine program(s) using it.
The .wine doesn't show in the terminal with ls. I guess cause
it's hidden.
Correct. All files that start with a dot (.) are systems files and are hidden in the File Finder (nautilis).
I can go to the desktop folder /home/benjie1 and just
delete it but I'm not root then, right?
No. Since the file was created as root you will either have to su to root and then use the rm -rf .wine/* command while in the /home/benjie1 directory or you can use sudo rm -rf /home/benjie1/.wine while logged in as benjie1.
BE VERY CAREFUL using the rm -rf command! If you do this from / or any other directory, you can destroy your file system resulting in a full reinstallation of Fedora.
So how do I get this done?
See the Wine FAQ for further directions at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ

Hi again James. Just wondering it it would help things if I
removed wine completely and started over? Would I do that as root or
user, and use the rm -rf command. Rather not do this unless it will
help. Thanks Bob
Bob:
It is not necessary to remove Wine, just the User files. Wine is usually installed as root with the ability to run the executables as a non-privileged user. Are you having problems doing this?
