Wine is looking for a directory named Program\ Files. wine '/mnt/C/Program Files/Agent/agent.exe' should work better.> /usr/bin/wine: line 538: 6267 Terminated tail -f $log_name > err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. > err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. > err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. > err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. > Rerunning /usr/bin/wine -debugmsg warn+all /mnt/C/Program\ > Files/Agent/agent.exeInvoking /usr/bin/wine.bin -debugmsg warn+all > /mnt/C/Program\ Files/Agent/agent.exe ...> Wine failed with return code 2 > > An internal Wine error was that write permissions did not exist in > /mnt/C/Program Files/Agent/DATA' which is the directory where Agent stores > program information.Where did you see that? If it is on a vfat partition, the whole partition and all its directories have the same permission, as set by mount. There is a good discussion of this in <wine>/documentation/installing.sgml (Dealing wit FAT/VFAT Partitions) and the other formats of that file available at the wine ftp sites, I think, and probably at winehq too.> > Any ideas here?

For you it is probably better to invoke Agent as follows: cd '/mnt/C/Program Files/Agent' wine agent.exe That is, if you are using Agent's default locations for agent.exe, agent.ini and datafiles.

An example is found in the wine-howto: http://www.la-sorciere.de/Wine-HOWTO/ch-security.html> Any ideas here? I have heard many people claim to have used Agent with > Wine on this newsgroup.Yes.
