similar to: How to install Wine on Windows?

Hello, I still own MS Windows NT 4 Workstation and Windows95 both on CD. According to the FAQ Windows can't be installed using Wine, but the DLLs could be extracted and used with Wine. Is there much benefit from doing this? I guess the DLLs could be copied to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system right? If it makes sense, what is best to used, Win95 or Win NT4? Is this procedure legally

I have heard that there are some .dll files in wine that are faster than the ones in windows, i have a dual booting vista and ubuntu system, and i have a server that i'm looking to turn into a gaming pc, but i'm not going to buy another copy of windows, so i have installed ubuntu onto it, and am going to import the .dll files from windows, each and every one of them, but since there are

I noticed a distribution for 7.2 & 8.0 but not 7.3. Download and installation of the 7.2 version appears to go fine - until i give the command wine -v I do understand there is not a config file with the distribution. However when i start wine -v and take the option to setup config it fails twith a message can't find package Itcl and also says the config file does not exist.

I installed 1.1.6 and it was working fine except for one application. I installed 0.9.32 after changing my .wine directory to .wine_bak. (someone mentioned that they had got my application to work on the older version). The application still didn't work, so I changed my .wine directory to .wine932, and changed my .wine_bak to .wine. At that point I expected everything to be back to where I had

Hi, I am looking for IE6 to run on Vista - In the URL below, it states that there is a Wine for Windows now - and IE 6 can be installed once you have Wine for Windows. Is this correct info? http://tredosoft.com/IE6_For_Vista_Part_1 I have recently installed Debian on a old Pentium 3 machine, so I may check out Wine on that platform as well. If the hardware can take it. I have I believe 384MB

I'm trying to install Office XP on Fedora 3, with the 12/1/2004 wine build from the source. I tried the suggestions given by Ronald Nave on Dec 2/2004 (installing DCOM98, windows installer), but to no avail, and I get the following errors, any help/suggestions are appreciated! ------------------------------------ fixme:wininet:FindFirstUrlCacheEntryA ((null), 0x7fd943b0, 0x5b41ea38): stub

I need to know is there some utility I can use to install all my Windows XP DLLs on my Wine install? I have a legal copy of Windows XP I never use, so I might as well add all the native DLLs to my Wine install, thus insuring all my Windows apps will always work, no need for the reverse engineered Wine DLLs to run my Windows applications.

Hey guys, I'm a new Ubuntu convert (installed through Wubi, and am blown away!) I'd love to get wine working so I play games etc, but I've got a lot of learning to do when it comes to installing and getting things working. So, I want to use the 1.0-rc1 version of wine, but CoD4 requires the 3dmark.diff patch. This is what I think I need to be doing: with the 3dmark.diff file

Hello, I'm using Linux for about two months now. Even before switching to Linux I have heard of Wine. I got my system running relativelly stable (I use Slackware 10.2, kernel-2.6.14 and KDE 3.4), but still have some issues - sound being one of them. But that's my problem. I'd like to contribute to the wine project somehow. Perhaps starting as a test user for some application.

Hi, dear all, I just switch to vista (ultimate) and have heard there is some problem for the installation of xemacs on vista. Is there any insight or experience that you could share? I really appreciate any input. thank you so much!

I am trying to find a program that will let me run programs designed for earlier windows (95/98) on Vista 64 bit (specifically Lords of Magic, an old PC game - the patches that make the game playable will not install on a 64 bit Vista OS). I know this is a cross platform sort of program, and was wondering if any of you knew if it would work. Thanks for any help or insight.

Hello, I've been trying to compile Wine on Cygwin with the idea of running Windows apps through an X server. I've had mixed success. Short story: This is a picture of Wine's notepad.exe running on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and displayed on my Cygwin/X server. I tried to display it remotely - obviously it works. There are some major problems, but I do believe that somebody who knows

I was wondering if I replace the mswsock.dll with the one on my winXP partition could solve the acceptEX problem. I have both win98 and winXP CDs (my winVista Laptop didn't come with any), so I was thinking if I replace those problematic DLLs or use a full windows installation somehow, it might solve this problem.

I am trying to build a simple dll with Rcmd SHLIB to link into R. The results of the build are below. From my limited knowledge of building DLLs, it looks like it worked (I didn't get any errors). F:\R\dlls> Rcmd SHLIB add.C making add.d from add.C g++ -IC:/PROGRA~1/R/src/include -Wall -O2 -c add.C -o add.o ar cr add.a *.o ranlib add.a g++ --shared -s -o add.dll add.def add.a

So here, i looked a bit around the web on the subject and found: - That using wine such way can be damaging to the partition and/or windows it self. - That using original Windows DLLs can be quite helpful to some applications. As you can see results were sided, it seemed successful to some. My Idea was: - Through fstab, make the partition automatically mounted on /media/winxp (already) - Make a

Hi all. As said in the subject, we wonder whether is possible to use some native MS dlls (comctl32.dll, commctrl.dll) in a wine installation, for commercial purpose. And, if possible, what kind of restrictions are supposed to be applicated? I'm sure I'm not the first asking such a thing... Thx
