[Wine] Launching a windows executable so it's available to another .exe
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have just successfully launched Printmaster Gold Version 3 (for Window 3.1 or 95; wine configured as Windows 2000) using version 0.9.30 on Xubuntu Edgy (with updates) with the following caveat: Printmaster must be launched twice because on first launch the following error dialog appears: 'Cannot initialize 16 bit thunk server PMWTHUNK.EXE' which is executable in C:\\pmw, the default install location for this version of Printmaster. Saving works in 0.9.30 but didn't in 0.9.22 (the version of wine in Edgy). Printing worked in 0.9.22 and continues to do so. Is there a way to launch PMWTHUNK.EZE so that when I do wine C:\\pmw\\PMW.EXE (the main executable) pmwthunk.exe can be seen by pmw.exe? All in all I'm impressed; I remember the bad old days when wine was much more limited in its capabilities, and hadn't tried it again until today. Once I know whether the error message on first launch is just something that has to be lived with for now, or if there is a way to eliminate it I will submit an report to the application database.

Got it out of the way early, now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFxUBHhvWBpdQuHxwRAoWvAJsH0NQHFYVNWoYOoQBd26WVCCbtZgCfV/xF u1JqmkxKZU9kCiIlxtQh40s=TF6F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
