Dear All
After various failed attempts at using Wine I have installed this from
the Mandriva 2006 DVD. I have version ?Wine 20050725?.
I have installed Paint Shop Pro as follows:
As a user I typed: ?Winecfg? and when in the configuration programme I
went to the Application tab > Add Application button > browse to the
installation executable: ?/mnt/cdrom/autorun.exe? > Open button > Select
the Windows version of XP. Press Close button
With the Configuration program closed and still as a user I typed:
?wine /mnt/cdrom/autorun.exe?
and followed the installation instructions.
After installation I managed to run Paint Shop Pro by using File Manager
and navigating my way via the hidden directory:
?/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Jasc Software Inc/Paint Shop Pro 7/PSP.exe?
which I double clicked.
I assume I should be able to install an icon somewhere in ?Program?.
With ?Program? running I press File > New > then put a dot in Progam,
Press OK. Nothing happens.
I cannot find anything about this on the
http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index tutorial website.
Any advice on how to make an entry for starting the application without
having to navigate my way through File Manager is welcome.
Thanks
Stephen
Hi Stephen ... the latest versions of Wine have a utility that should create a menu item for you in KDE - you should upgrade to the latest version of wine, then re-install your app. Derek On Thu, 2007-04-26 at 19:23 +0100, Stephen Constantinou wrote:> Dear All > > After various failed attempts at using Wine I have installed this from > the Mandriva 2006 DVD.

Dear Derek
I am very grateful for this suggestion. I start to get very nervous at
this stage as downloading applications and installing them has seldom
gone smoothly. Anything Windows I am fine with but still learning
Linux. Even knowing which file to download confuses me. Binaries and
packages or source archive? Therefore reading the documentation is
pointless as I do not know the basics.
For example this web page
http://www.winehq.com/?announce=latest
presents me with too many options because I lack the experience to know
if I should be downloading
http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-0.9.35.tar.bz2
or
wine-0.9.30-mdk.i586.rpm
from the distro specific link. Which ever one it is I would not know
what to do next.
Do you mind guiding me through the upgrading step by step? I realise
that this will take several postings but I am likely to learn from the
experience.
Wait to hear
Stephen
