Dear friends: I am pleased to say that I successfully installed Internet Explorer Sp1 on my Linux (Scientific Linux 4.0, which is based on RHEL 4) using Wintools. After installing IE6, I thought installing WordView (the Word97 word view program) would be a snap. But instead Wintools failed to install it in several attempts. It started, downloaded the file and tried to install it. But at

Dear friends: I've been trying for some time to install my copy of Word97 (which I own, having purchased it directly from Microsoft with my own license number). I have tried the latest Wine 0.9.14. To do this, I first UNinstalled version 0. 9.1-4 (PCLINUXOS), then installed the new wine from source. The source install asked me to install a number of font files, which I did (bison,

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting Access 97 working with Wine 20041019. Word and Excel work just fine, as far as I've used them, but Access simply refuses to start. I've installed off an original installer CD through the WineTools ( 2.11jo) utility. I customised the install, removing everything except for the basic application files for Word, Excel and Access. I've also

I'm kind of a newbie on the whole Wine deal and I'm close to flipping out on this problem I have, maybe it's happened to someone else (who can share his/her wisdom): - Internet Explorer can't open new windows. Be it javascript, a popup, or even if you click on 'File -> New -> Window' and if you try, it hangs. So it's practically unusable to me since the corporate

Hello, I am deinstalling wine and reinstalling at the 20041019 level. I'm running the 2.6.11.7 kernel with the debian distribution. In Aptitude I need to reinstall wine, winetools and libwine. I can find the 20041019 version for everything except libwine. I think libwine must be known by a different name in the rest of the *nix world. I am downloading the RH9 RPM from

Dear friends: [Using the Centos 4.4 DVD) I will spend the next few days reading the documentation for Centos/RedHat. But meanwhile, I would like, while reading it, to listen to my favorite radio programs which require RealPlayer. So, my question is simply: should I download the RealPlayer RPM from www.real.com or should I download it from an rpm repository source? While I am at, what about

Dear friends: I installed Sun's Java manually by downloading their Red Hat RPM. I followed instructions and the install came off fine (Done!), but when I try to play it, it won't work.

Hi there, I just installed the latest wine release 1205 on SuSE7.1 with cups and for the first time printing works for me. I just added the afmdirs section like it says in the manual and now it works. GREAT!! Word view97 works just FINE, even with rtf files. Great. I have one little problem though.

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct).

Greetings, I have tried to get IE5.5 & 6 running on Wine under FreeBSD 5.3.

Hi, I just proposed a binary rpm for Mandrake (in a testing phase among Mandrake Club). I put most of winetools stuff into /usr/share/winetools/2.1.1jo/ like for Debian. Po files are still in the binary installation to encourage translations but they will be suppressed by Mandrake people if in contribs. I included my proposition of fr.po (already sent to the list) in the binary. Xdialog binary

Hi, I've been messing with Wine and WineTools off and on for a couple of days now. In general I can certainly see the bright future out there, but so far it eludes me.
