You would need to compile Wine first (that download is source code) AFAIK, compiling all of Wine is not currently possible on Windows, but it possible to build parts of it.. This is somewhat relevant: http://wiki.winehq.org/CompilingDLLsUsingMingw Other parts might need Cygwin.... (With some patience you might be able to get small parts to build under VC++ as well, but don't baragin on it...) The real question is: Why? http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows also have a lot of info... Gert
