Hi i am having problem installing origin in wine. it says that i have to have administrative privileges to run the application. but when i change wine to an older windows it says i am using an to old version of windows. Is there a way to get administrative privileges on wine without changing the wine windows spec to older than vista? //UG1

Have you looked at the Applications Database for suggestions on how to overcome this problem? James

As James noted, Wine always shows that user running it is an administrator. So it's not the problem with permissions, but the way program checks for them. What program are you talking about exactly?
