Greetings from a noob. I am having a little difficulty trying out Wine-20050111 on a fully updated athlon fedora core 2 system and hope other wine users can help. Review of the wine-users.pdf file included in the wine rpm and scanning some of the wine-users mailing list archives have not pointed to any solutions. I am trying to install Turbotax from a Turbtax distribution CD. (The only

Don't know if this is the right place to ask for winetools assistance, but.... I installed the wt210jo rpm along with the latest wine rpm (20050111) but whenever I try to launch the install for IE6 or any of the other applications in Winetools, everything errors out, saying that it can't find OLE32.DLL. Obviously I don't have any version of windows installed anywhere (and this is

I just downloaded the latest version of wine from the site to install on my system. My system is an Athalon XP 2400+ running Fedora Core 3, fully updated. I downloaded the file wine-20050419-1fc3winehq.athlon.rpm and installed it, then installed winetools-2.1.1-jo.i386.rpm to go with it. I started winetools to do the configuration and completed each step of the base install one at a time until

Hi, winetools 2.1.1 (installed from wine.sf.net deb recently) has a few missing double quotes on line 2568. Here's the diff: tjzeeman@carrington:~$ diff /chroot/ia32-sid/root/winetools.orig /chroot/ia32-sid/usr/bin/winetools 2568c2568 < if [ $WINEVER -lt 20040914 ] || [ $WINEVER -gt 20050111 ]; then --- > if [ "$WINEVER" -lt "20040914" ] || [ "$WINEVER"

Thanks to help form this group, I finally have Half Life installed, running and using my nVidia Gforce2 GTS with OpenGL. Wow. Now I still have one error. When I start Half-Life I get this message... "Could not open MCI file for playback: 266: There is an undetectable problem in loading the specified device driver" This error repeats twice and I select OK each time and then the game

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

Hi, This is working out great except for one minor detail ;) I'm using Wine 0.9.29 with WineTools 0.9. I installed all the software required (with winetools this works great)... I then installed Word 97 SR-1 without a problem... The only thing wrong: When I try to open de VB editor I get the message "Unable to open macro storage". Now this error can come from: 1. Corrupt

So, I installed Wine 20050111 and Winetools 2.1 on my desktop which is a P4 HT 3.4ghz ICH6 chipset based box. Redhat seems to function just fine on it, and I'm running the latest stable SMP Kernel. My problem is included in the following test. When I launch WineTools, it starts complaining about not being able to create directories and the such, but I'm running this as root (I can hear

I am not sure if I can ask question about winetools here. I will put my question and if I am not allowed then please ignore it. If it is ok please help me. when I type wt in the Konsole, I get the following error even though xdialog is installed. --------------------- detecting Wine version... done.

Hi, I've installed Wine version 20041201 on RedHat 9 and Winetools 210-jo, but when I try to execute Winetools (by typing wt2 on shell (as a user, not root), I just get all the error messages below.

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

A happy and successful new year for everyone! I just release WineTools 2.0.9. You can download it at http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/.

After updating from, say winetools-2.10-jo to 2.11-jo (by rpm), I can't use the wt startup scripts like ie6, wmplayer etc. any longer, and I get an error message similar to "winetools hasn't been configured for this user. Run the base setup ..." But doing so would erase my ~/.wine directory and thus destroy my old setup including all my program installations, which of course

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. I've used various versions of Wine successfully before, but with recent Wine I'm having little luck. I'm on an FC2 machine with a custom kernel but can switch to Gentoo if required. I've tried both
