Hi all. I am wanting to run the following command from the shell :: wineconsole explorer /desktop=ajay Since I intend to launch Windows CUI executables after launching explorer, I use wineconsole; and secondly, I set WINELOADER to the path of 'wineconsole' binary. (These steps are in conjunction with the link http://www.winehq.org/docs/wine But the application just hangs, always. However, if I omit the second step, (or explicitly set the WINELOADER=''), the application runs vanilla fine. Now, the reason I am asking this is because I want to run explorer and windows applications, by launching through a wine script. By simply using wineconsole (and not setting WINELOADER), the explorer runs fine, but when I launch windows applications, I am not able to input from keyboard. If I do set WINELOADER to the path of wineconsole, the application just fails to start. So, in nutshell, why is the application hanging when I set WINELOADER to the path of wineconsole binary? Regards, Ajay
