thanks for the suggestion. I right-clicked on the swtor desktop icon and chose properties. From there i was able to grab the argument and run it directly in a term env WINEPREFIX="/home/kesten/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/kesten/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Star\ Wars\ -\ The\ Old\ Republic.lnk ... lots of errors starting with fixme and ending with stub ... Exception: resolve: Unknown error fixme:winhttp:WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser returning no proxy used X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 93 (X_CreateCursor) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 27808 Current serial number in output stream: 27812 Any idea what that's all about? By the way, I was also able to use the wine configure tool to add D: drive, though i don't know if programs will be smart enough to use it. the complete error output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/749968/ darKoram ...reading closer. It wants a proxy for IE.. internet explorer, i only have firefox installed. OMG, could this be it... *runs to install IE.
