Hi, Good point, I should know what is needed since I wrote it. I often have this problem with windows apps I write. But I think the main issue in this case is that I am using an SDK which in turn is probably using other components that I am not aware of. This is what I have done so far: 1. I installed the sdk under wine on my target machine, so I assume everything needed for the app I write will be there. 2. I then wrote a command line, c++ app using visual studio and the SDK on a windows machine 3. I copied the exe to target machine and ran it from command line $ wine myapp Later, I Installed vcrun2005 with winetricks, that helped Now I get this set of errors. http://pastebin.com/AqHT9i0Q Thanks in advance for any help or hints on how to proceed.
