I have managed to mostly install wpwin9 into fake windows. I freeze near the end at the "self registering" screen (cdrhlp90.dll), but the install log seems to find everything there. But wine will not run WP, says cannot find wpwin9.exe. I can find it in fake_windows using Nautilus; otherwise cannot get there by using cd since it seems to be unable to cd into "WorPerfect Office 2000". Does anyone have an idea how I can finish the install (get around the freeze) and/or run wpwin9.exe? Thanks
Suggest installing into a directory name without spaces? When CDing to a directory with spaces in the filename, you need to enclose it in quotes. Maybe Wine isn't doing that, so it's looking for a directory called "WorPerfect". (Question, is the missing "d" in WordPerfect below a typo in your mail, or the actual directory name it's looking for?) Your news is encouraging to me, although I have the native Linux version of WP8 as my Linux wordprocessor ...
