Hello Paul,

  A reminder of what Paul Cartwright typed on:

PC> I'm trying to install a windows program that can run under wine.

 Still not sussed it Paul? I can't understand why mine is running so well
 as I don't even have the installed program in the fake prog files
 directory. I just copied the whole directory direct from my XP machine
 into my home folder, created a menu and desktop shortcut to it and away it
 went.

 The direct path and command to the exe file is...

 wine /home/tony/TheBat/thebat.exe /nologo

 Not being in the fake windows directory I wasn't expecting it to work
 straight off first time but it did.

 Try this...

 Create a new folder in your home directory and put just thebat.exe in it,
 not the full installation exe file but the actual TB! program executable
 and run that with wine. That's what I did first just to see if I got the
 wine command right before I copied the whole Bat directory over.

 It'll go through all the normal installation procedure asking if you want
 OTFE and restore from backup etc but once that's done it should work. If
 not then I'm lost, sorry!

Best regards,    Tony.
