Hi, I wish to run a Windows program under Linux. It will be triggered from another program when nobody is logged in; in other words, it won't need a GUI; it's just doing number crunching. How do I configure Wine to do this? When I run the program it just says, "Wine exited with a successful status", but it is supposed to create files etc, and nothing is really done. (It appears.) Am I doing something wrong (I'm a beginner) ? Thanks /Michael

That completely non-verbose wrapper script again :-\ It should really get fixed to at least give *some* useful info or clearly point to how to be able to post useful info instead of posting a crappy error message, as many people do now unfortunately.> Am I doing something wrong (I'm a beginner) ?Run the *real* wine (wine.bin) and get some *real* errors ;-) Andreas Mohr

Did you misspell something? Do you mean I should su someone else in the script and use that persons config file? Thanks /Michael
