:) I waited for several hours and no help arrived, so I installed Birthday Reminder with double-click on file /home/claudio/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/bdaysetup.exe as instructed by this guide http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-497f1a295d53dd3444f211df2b13312c7767afa2 Birthday Reminder setup did the following: - created a folder /home/claudio/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/Birthday Reminder contening files bday.exe (the excutable for the application) and instlog.lsl - inserted a folder and and its dedicated launchers (Applications> Wine> Programs> Birthday Reminder> Setup / Check now) into Wine menu. Than I tried to run Birthday Reminder by terminal command and I had the same result as msg#1. Code: claudio@Aspire-8530:~$ wine "c:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe" err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe" failed, status c0000135 What is wrong now? Please help me! Claudio :)
