:) Waiting for advises on how to proceed safely, I configured Wine following this guide http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#USING-WINECFG. I noticed that folder /home/claudio/.wine was created at winecfg startup. I copied files bdaysetup.exe (application setup ) e bday.exe (application) in the folder /home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi to prepare Birthday Reminder installation. I set following parameters in WINECFG: - Tab Applications > Predefined setting > Windows version: Windows7 - Tab Applications > file /home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi/bday.exe > Windows version: WindowsXP - Tab Units > automatically detect I verificied the absence of folder Birthday Reminder within Wine menu Now I should install the application Birthday Reminder. Any suggestion on the best way to follow to avoid previous errors? Claudio :)
