WineTools is a menu driven installer for installing about 90 Windows
programs under the x86 (Athlon or Intel PC) processor architecture with
the Linux operating system using Wine. This software lets you install
the following Windows software:
* DCOM98
* IE6
* Windows Core Fonts
* Windows System Software
* Office & Office Viewer
* Adobe Photoshop 7, Illustrator 9
* many other programs
It also sets up your .wine directory in the correct way, downloads the
files to install from the web (only the free and shareware ones for
sure), installs Windows fonts and lets you uninstall and configure your
software.
WineTools was initially written by Frank Hendriksen
<frank@franksworld.net> and was extended by me (Joachim von Thadden
<thadden@web.de>) and Sven Paschukat <Sven.Paschukat@t-online.de>.
It is
licensed under the GPL.
You can download WineTools at the well known location:

I can't get WineTools to run. I install it as root (see installation log bellow): root@MCLAREN:/home/gtl/winetools-0.9jo-II# ./install Version: winetools-0.9 Release: 0.9 Installing WineTools to /usr/local/winetools... which: no Xdialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin) ln: `/usr/local/winetools/Xdialog': File exists Could not link Xdialog to the WineTools directory. You have to do that manually for WineTools to work. Installing translations... Installed translations for de_DE@euro to /usr/local/share/locale/de_DE@euro/LC_MESSAGES/wt2.mo Installed translations for es to /usr/local/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/wt2.mo Installed translations for fr to /usr/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/wt2.mo Installed translations for nb to /usr/local/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/wt2.mo Installed translations for pt_BR to /usr/local/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/wt2.mo Start WineTools as *normal* user with "wt". Don't use as root! root@MCLAREN:/home/gtl/winetools-0.9jo-II# ldconfig Then, as user, I do: gtl@MCLAREN:~$ wt -bash: wt: command not found gtl@MCLAREN:~$ Any thoughts? Thanks! Gustavo

May I suggest putting the links to the RPM and tar.gz files on the menu right below "Download"? This is my second visit to the site, so I'm not a total stranger ... -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

The following changes have been made:I think there are still errors. I use a Debian distro and have Xdialog installed, yet when I tried extracting the tar.gz, it keeps giving me error messors about not being able to find Xdialog. This is during the extraction process, it's actually reporting some path that starts with /usr but I didn't note down the full path. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
Also, website instructions say to type "wt", but there is no "wt" command created anywhere. There IS a "wt0.9jo" created, though. Perhaps one could either change the website or the name of the executable to match? -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
Hi Joachim,
I'm using WineTools on a Debian 3.1 (stable) machine that has the
Equinox Desktop (EDE) running. WineTools uses very small fonts and is
nearly unreadable.
It looks to me like a font is missing and XFree tries to substitute
it. But it might also be a problem with EDE.
Can you tell me how to find out if it's a missing font before I
contact the EDE developers?
TIA,
Markus
