wine users - Dec 2004 - Differents apps with different wondows version

Hi all,

I was wondering if changing windows version for an app would affect its 
behaviour. I mean, I have an app that requires IE. So I used Sidenet 
script to install it. But it installs a Win98 version. So fat, my app no 
more claims for IE, but running it in Win98 config make it need a native 
comctl32.dll and though a native commctrl.dll.

I was wondering if changing the app version to Win2K will affect it, as 
IE is installed in a Win98 version...

Any ideas, clues...

Thanx, Dripple

In most cases the version will not make a difference. But there are 
exceptions; I have some apps that require a WinNT or later version, and 
some that require Win98 (at least this used to be true, I have not 
verified this recently).

You can specify a different version on a per app basis, in you 
~/.wine/config file with entries like:

[AppDefaults\\myst.exe\\Version]
"Windows" = "win98"
