Microsoft has free viewers for MS Word and Excel file formats. Has anyone had any success with these and Wine 20010418? I had some success (could install at least) with the Win16 word viewer, but now I couldn't even install any of them. Wine just locks up. If anyone wants to try it out, I have the 16- and 32-bit version of the Word viewer + the 32-bit Excel viewer here: (<a

Many useful Netscape plugins don't come in Linux versions. Is it possible to make my Linux copy of Netscape use Windows-compiled plugins? If so, how?

I keep hearing that Ian Schmidt figured out how to get Word 2000 to work under Wine. Well, his domain comes up unknown and all references I have seen on this subject hyperlink to his defunct URL. Has anyone out there got Word 2000 installed on W2K to work under wine? I'm using FreeBSD Codeweaver port but any success from anyone be it Red Hat, Mandrake, etc would be appreciated.

When I run half-life under Codeweavers Wine, it says it cannot validate the cd. I tried cracking it under windows 4 times with different cracks, and they work under windows, but in wine it says my executable has been edited. When I had just plain wine that came iwth mydistro (suse 7.2), it worked fine. I have no idea what to do and what is causing this. Thanks! Matt

hey all, i know it's kind of pointless to get Deus Ex running in wine now thnx to loki (j/k), but if you have shelled out $$ for Deus Ex winblows version, now you can run it in wine. I got Deus Ex running yesterday with TransGaming's (www.transgaming.com) version of wine. I ran it in both OpenGL and Glide mode, video runs excellent. Mouse input is great as well, much better than the

I am two applications away from being MS-free. The second is Photo-Paint, but that's another message. The first is CompuServe 2.6.1, a/k/a WinCim. If I try to run cs261.exe under wine, it crashes with a blank error window after attempting to run InstallShield. If I just try to copy the files from my old computer and run wincim.exe under wine, absolutely nothing happens (which is absolutely

Just installed Aim for win 98 using Wine, and it ended up putting a nice Aim icon on my KDE desktop with the wine command in to start aim - i.e. wine "/mnt/win98/Pro...." This is getting really smooth! Simon

I went to the trouble of setting up Visual Sourcesafe on a Linux system recently. There was a fair amount of futzing required, so I've documented what I had to do at http://www.kegel.com/linux/vss-howto.html Comments and corrections welcome. I'd also love to know how to get this working without hardcoding NT usernames and passwords! The commandline app appears to be fully functional

I am trying to run ss.exe using builtin DLLs. No luck at all:( It seems it fails to send the message (sendmsg?) somewhere. At the end, I get windows message box with the error. Any ideas?

Hi all, I have been struggling with Codeweaver's wine for some time now and I have run into a strange problem with the demo of Sudden Strike - when I start the demo, I get a choice between different resolutions and buttons for "start", "readme" and "quit". The strange thing is that if I click on the "start", wine gives me the "readme"! The

Hi everybody! I recently tried out Wine, and decided to write an article about it. Well, that means I need to get some interesting windows apps working, so far it's only Notepad and Solitaire (won't make anyone cheer). The problem is, when I try to start any installer.exe file, I get some rows of nonsense ("fixme pthread...blabla") and then it exits with the message that it

I've been tearing hair out for days over this stuff ... hopefully someone here can enlighten me further. I've managed to get wine to the stage where it appears to be installed as per the codeweaver site .... have tried both the "fake_windows" & windows partition methods, but in both cases when I try running any windows application installer it bombs out within seconds,

I installed the latest Codeweavers preview build (binary RPM, ugh!), and the DeskTopWindow error I was experiencing building from cvs is gone. All the font fixme warnings (which had, at one point, gone away) are back, and I'm back to the previous error I was getting before DeskTopWindow: babylon5:alaric:~:46 $ wine --debugmsg fixme-font d:\\install.exe Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin
