wine users - Jan 2010 - Can't get JRE 1.6U18 to run

Hi, 

I have installed WINE 1.1.32 on fedora 12 and I am trying to get Sun Java JRE
running but have a few issues:

If I pick up the JRE installer .EXE file, it fails to install and this seems to
be down to a heap space allocation error. I have found a few posts around the
Internet about this but nothing gets me towards a fix.

What I am actually trying to do is run a jnlp installer package and if I do this
manually with "wine java package.jnlp" I get:

fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)

I have used winetricks to install some MS components, including 'Common
controls' but without much success.

Unfortunately, the developers of the java app have made it very Windows-centric
(eg: It checks values in the Registry) and so running it natively on Linux is
not going to work.

Any ideas or hints? This is my first encounter with WINE so be gentle on me!

Thanks

This is specific to .NET or Microsoft's interpetation of Java.  The
applications database and winetricks have methods of installing this
package.  I don't know which one you need, but I would try .NET 2.0 and
then .NET 3.0.  .NET 3.5 may be installable as well.

I would get another Java application as they are supposed to be
'Operating System' neutral.  Swing and AWT give the same functionality,
if not better, than using .NET.
