wine users - Nov 2005 - [second try] How to masquerade as Administrator?

Greetings,

[This is my second try at trying to post to this list.  The first post never 
made it?  I never got an acknowledgment and it is not present in the 
archives. Is this a list problem or is there something wrong with my 
subscription?  Please excuse the noise if this is duplicated.]

Wine 0.9 installation.  I installed Internet Explorer using the manual 
procedure in the applications database.

I then changed the version reporting to Windows 2000 using winecfg and then 
went to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com which went ok until I got a 
"Must be Administrator".

I notice that there is a stub that is IsNTAdmin that seems to be returning 0.

Is there any way to be administrator on my own box with an installation that 
is under my home directory (~/.wine)? Perhaps some sort of "runas"
command?

Well for some reason gmail thought you were spam. Perhaps that has
something to do with your missing message?

Dunno.  But, I got the second try, so it at least is on the list now.  Your 
gmail thinking it is spam means that it did get through to the filter.  The 
first one never got through at all... Internet black hole...

Can anybody help on-topic?
