I get this response when I try to install the VCToolkit. [wparish@localhost wine-hdd]$ wine ./VCToolkitSetup.exe Warning: the specified Windows directory L"C:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/wparish/wine-hdd', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot find './VCToolkitSetup.exe' What have I missed, or misconfigured? (I'm officially running 20040813, though I compiled and installed 20050211 over it - I hadn't read that I should uninstall the previous wine installation before installing a new one. :) Wesley Parish -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?

You should make a link in ~/.wine/dosdevices like ln -s /home/wparish/wine-hdd ~/.wine/dosdevices/h: to have your directory mapped as a drive H:.
