Hi, Is there any way to run a Windows 95 executable on my Linux 6.3 system?? I actually tried wine, but i suppose wine requires a windows partition to really run a Windows exe. If i am wrong, please let me know. I have a Linux only system in my office and i would like to see Windows exes also on my screen.

There's always wine... it's several notches shy of complete, but it is enough for some things.

Why do you suppose that? The docs on it don't say so. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

It is because, whenever i run wine on my shell, it gives an error like Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. Also, the wine.conf file under /etc has these lines [wine] Windows=c:\windows System=c:\windows\system Temp=e:\ Path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;e:\;e:\test;f:\ SymbolTableFile=./wine.sym If i have to run wine, what should be given in Windows, System and Path respectively.

What do you have set up for drive C:? All you need to ensure is that you have a windows and a windows\system directory off this.. e.g. Drive C is /emu/win on /emu/win I have a subdir windows setup., i.e. /emu/win/windows and /emu/win/windows/system my temp is set to c:\temp or in real life /emu/win/temp and my path then is c:\;c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:\utils Hope that helps RiKD -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Hi, I configured the C: as "/var/lib/winemu" on my m/c. But when i run wine "program", it comes out with a message saying ".DLL file not found". Should i have some Windows 95 system files in my /var/lib/winemu to execute wine successfully?? Raghav Rik Dunphy wrote:

e.g.
Drive C is /emu/win
on /emu/win I have a subdir windows setup., i.e. /emu/win/windows and /emu/win/windows/system
my temp is set to c:\temp or in real life /emu/win/temp and my path then is c:\;c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:\utils
Hope that helps RiKD

Unfortunately not all windows apps use the standard windows dll files, and add some new ones when you install them. you may need some of these dll files copied to the /var/lib/winemu/windows/system directory depending on the program you are running. The easiest way is each time you run the program copy the missing .dll file to this directory and try again!

There is Vmware (www.vmware.com), it costs $100. I have rather good results with win2lib from Trelos (www.trelos.com), it costs $49. In both cases you need and you must install the real Microsoft Windows. On Mon, May 29, 2000 at 11:50:31AM +0530, Raghavendra R wrote:
