I have two issues with Wine. 1) When I run my VB6 Setup package the text is tiny and garbled. I'm basically pushing buttons by memory as I can't make out what they say. 2) When I run my setup package from the Wine C: drive. Everything goes as it should until I reach the part where it constructs a Windows program group. Setup pops up an error dialog called "Setup message" and says: "Could not create directory: \FormDesigner" (Which is the name of my app) What Sub folder area is it trying to write to? Under Windows that would most likey be: C:\Documents and Settings\Profiles\<my Name>\Start Menu\Programs\ At one point a couple of weeks ago I uninstalled Wine then reinstalled it. Could that have destroyed the folder structure it is looking for? Thank You, Tom Groff Tom.Groff51 at gmail.com
Have not figured out how to fix problem 1. RE: problem 2. After looking at the USERPROFILE entry in the Wine .REG file I noticed that my profile in Wine was: C:\Windows\Profile\<MyName> After adding to that folder structure: C:\Windows\Profile\<MyName>\Start Menu\Programs My VB6 install package now completes and the test program runs.
Sorry John, I am very new to linux and ubuntu. Not a clue what you mean. :)
