wine users - Dec 2008 - pcbartist

Cannot install PCBArtist.  Using Lenny and wine 1.0.1-1.  AppDB suggests going
to c:/windows/temp/r... something or other but that folder isn't there. 
Tried copying the the install file to several different folders, including
trying to install from the terminal.  In terminal mode I get complaints about x
server and setting display mode.  I get a window that briefly flashes by and an
error window box about using option  /a.

AppDB lists program as Gold, does that mean it's supposed to run?

Gold means it ran fine with some tweaks for that particular person in that
particular version of Wine.

The first thing I would suggest is fixing whatever Wine is complaining about
with the x server and display mode. Wine can't display resolutions that your
system doesn't support. If it still doesn't install, try upgrading to
the latest development release of Wine (1.1.10) and see if that works. If none
of that works--post console output.

running and the display mode is 1024x768 and I have no clue as to how to change
that nor any info as to what I should change it to.  Besides, if I did any of
that, then what happens if I break the system and can't use it for anything
else?  If I download and install the very latest version, then I end up with a
new problem where the package manager won't recognize future updates for
that package.  Not that it matters that much, I guess, as I have yet to find a
software package that runs without issues under any release of Wine on any
version of Linux.  If I do run into something that works, I don't have to
wait very long for an update that breaks it.

about half a second after starting install.

Use a site like pastebin and then put the URL to the screen shot here.

Thank you.

Won't work.  Don't see how I can relay the info, other than try to
re-type it.  It's probably bogus error message anyway.  I'll just wait
for PCBArtist to get released for Debian.
