wine users - Aug 2003 - New User Problems

Hello all,

I've just installed Wine 20030709 on RH Linux 9. I then tried to install 
Quickbooks 2000, with the following results:

For a start download and install wine-20030813.

I think your config file has a few problems, please download and run
winesetuptk, it's on the wine download page at sourceforge.When it starts,
it
will say that there alreadyis a config file, choose the overwrite option, and
follow the on screen instructions.

If you have a windows license, you need to download dcom98 from this link
http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/download.asp
if you don't have a windows license, wine can't run the setup for you.
In this
case, you can install the software on a computer running windows, and move the
files on to your pc,this won't work as a correct installation, but if the
software doesn't complain too much about missing registry entries, it might
work.
