Hi, Thanks for the link. I did run across some similar postings -- but did not see the whole thread. I have installed many of the same things mentioned there -- none seem to make a difference. Its is hard or me to be sure now without starting from scratch. winetricks vcrun2005, did help. I do think it nearly works. I am just not getting anything written to the output file. So there are 2 programs 1. create a user http://pastebin.com/AqHT9i0Q 2. process a file http://pastebin.com/x1E3YbuC #1 seems to work, I assumed it was not because of all of the errors and since it never returned to the command line prompt I have included a log for #2 now. It also has same problem of not returning to command prompt. #2 runs and uses significant CPU resources for a period of time -- but it produces an empty output file (file is created in pwd but is of size=0) I am using wine-1.3.15 on Ubuntu 10.04. My test server is running in a VM.
