Hi, I managed to get past my problem with mounting the CD. That is still unresolved but I copied all the files from the CD via samba. So now the complete disk structure and files are located in a unix directory under the home user. So now wine initiates the setup program when I type: wine SETUP.EXE But now I get these errors. I removed some of them by adding msi to the wine config files as native. But I am still left with the following errors which take me into the debugger. Someone please help. Following is the list of errors. Thanks Dominic Coombe family@linux:~/Windows-install> wine SETUP.EXE fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x403a04a8 0x406c6d54) stub! fixme:msvcrt:_XcptFilter (-1066598274,0x406ce690)semi-stub wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...
