wine users - Jul 2008 - Issue running .exes after Wine update

Hi- I recently updated my Wine from 9.something to the latest version. Before I
updated, I could run Windows apps from a terminal command line by just entering
the app name, but now I get (for example):


Code:
/home/johnm/bin/LINT-NT.EXE: /home/johnm/bin/LINT-NT.EXE: cannot execute binary
file



which I guess means it is just trying to execute the app as a 'normal'
Linux app.

What is it I haven't done?

Cheers
John

You missing binfmt configuration part. It's not default part of Wine but
rather the package you are installing. So you should ask the distro / packager.
