Hello, Could any one tell me whether MS outlook 98 can be run on WINE ? I've installed WINE on the computer and copied outlook.exe and outlook.dll to my home directory. However, I cannot run outlook anyway. Any suggestions ? Please help ! Thanks a lot.

You probably have to *install* outlook to get the registry right (copying won't do if you haven't got everything set exactly right). If you're using your w98 original registry file (on a multiboot computer or via SAMBA mounts) don't. This is risky and you might end up having to reinstall a helluvalot in M$. Create a clean set of installations instead by using a clean registry while in Linux. And read the manual... ;-) Good luck Mickey Ringo Lam wrote:> Hello, > > Could any one tell me whether MS outlook 98 can be run on WINE ?

Besides, it should run fine. I've succeeded running programs a lot more demanding with swell results. As yet, every time I thought Wine was to blame for a program not working, it turned out it was my setup that was wrong. Really, the guys has done a marvelous job that could prove to be the last spike in the coffin for M$, by letting people gradually make the transition. /Mickey Ringo Lam wrote:> Hello, > > Could any one tell me whether MS outlook 98 can be run on WINE ?
