[Wine]running winword under wine from an existing windows installtion
Hi, I have just built wine from source(by running wineinstall as root). I have two windows partitions mounted to different directories in my linux setup. Wine detected these during wineinstall: *************************************************************** Windows was found on your system, and so we can use the Windows Drive as our Wine drive. You may, however, wish to create a clean Wine install anyways. Should I use the Windows drive for the Wine install? (yes/no) yes Created /root/.wine/config using your existing Windows installation. You probably want to review the file, though. ***************************************************************** Now I tried to run winword.exe from one of these partitions: wine /mnt/hdbwin/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office/winword.exe A dialogbox pops up with the following error message: "This application must be installed to run. Please run setup from the location where you originally installed the application" and the following messages were dumped on the console: *************************************************************** Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/c: -> /mnt/hdawin Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/d: -> /mnt/hdbwin Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/e: -> /mnt/cdrom Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/f: -> /tmp Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/g: -> ../${HOME} Created symlink /root/.wine/dosdevices/e:: -> /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 You can now remove the [SerialPorts], [ParallelPorts], and [Drive] sections in your configuration file, they are replaced by the above symlinks. Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "C:" L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "D:" L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "E:" L"cdrom" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "F:" L"hd" Converted drive type to new entry HKLM\Software\Wine\Drives "G:" L"network" Converted temp dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "TEMP" = L"D:\\temp" Converted windows dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "windir" L"D:\\windows" Converted system dir to new entry HKCU\Environment "winsysdir" L"D:\\windows\\SYSTEM" Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/root/downloads/wine/wine', starting in the Windows directory. fixme:ver:VERSION_GetLinkedDllVersion Unknown EXE OS version 4.0, please report!! fixme:msi:MsiGetProductCodeW L"{CC29E963-7BC2-11D1-A921-00A0C91E2AA2}" 0x30d64ff8 ******************************************************************** I googled extensively, but all I could figure out was that probably something needs to be done to my wine registry setup. I generally work on linux and have very little idea about the windows registry set up and how wine maps on to it. It would be great if any one of the wine/windows gurus could help me out with this .... Thanks, Harjot PS: I could have installed office from the CD itself, but I wanted to use the existing installation..... ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
