Yesterday, I finally finished getting Internet Explorer installed. WineTools reports that DCOM98 and arial32.exe (fonts) are installed. But, when I try to run anything, I get an error message stating that the config file is invalid. And, it is. Now, it is totally empty. The last thing I did, as far as installing is concerned, was to run an installer for a tv station application taht shows news and weather on the desktop. That application worked just fine. I'm not sure how I ended that application. All i know, now, is that nothing works, because the config file is just gone. Is there any way to recreate it without trashing anything else? Also, is IE supposed to be able to be installed using winetools? When wt gets done, I get an error stating that setup has failed. Nothing else. John McKee
please upate your Winetools to version 2.1.0 and rerun Base setup, the "empty config file" error has been fixed. --- John McKee <jmmckee@flinthills.com> a ?crit :> Yesterday, I finally finished getting Internet Explorer installed. > WineTools reports that DCOM98 and arial32.exe (fonts) are installed. > But, when I try to run anything, I get an error message stating that the > config file is invalid.

That application worked just fine.Good, than why not helping us all and posting the following informations to the list (or to me) that I can integrate new applications into WineTools: - name, version and language of the software - exact download location - website for informations - specialities for installation with Wine> Also, is IE supposed to be able to be installed using winetools?

That's why it is in the menu ;-) If you encounter problems, get tha actual WineTools 2.1.0 and startover with the "Base setup" again. Regards Joachim -- "Never touch a running system!

Thanks and sorry for so less information... I try to explain : I compile or I use wine on fc3 rpms (DAG ones) version 14xx, 19xx no too much problems... I mean i succeeded running what i need (sinequanon.exe a french geometric apps in delphi) and win32povray. with the 1xx version i didn't get the french accent... So i tried winetools to load fonts... i cp winetools in /usr/local/winetools as suggested and made the links... When i try to use wt with the menu it download and installed base win... But i have failure message... I guess the mistake i make is working as root but as i don't fear "security" i have nothing on my linux which can be "crack" i prefer working as root... But compiling with wineinstall need to have a "user" And i install rpms as root... so i got "mess".... between user and root wine... I found the fonts so i installed them... and I installed 19xx wine... But i can't run povray anymore... setup is good but when running says it has a bug somewhere... well I just use wine for fun and to test it and eventually communicate my problems with the list if it can be of any use because i think it's a good project (thanks a lot all wine team by the way !) But if i can make it run like the 14xx i had, was great with povray (i could even install friedrichs pov menu ) after finding the problem with fonts... Improving is nice, regressing less ! lol Kind regards HG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joachim von Thadden" <thadden@web.de> To: "Henri Girard" <henrigirard@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 11:24 AM Subject: Re: [Wine]clobbered config file> Am Mi, Jan 12, 2005 at 10:11:58 +0100 schrieb Henri Girard: > > I don't know why but each time i used winetools my wine is "out"... > > What does that mean, 'my wine is "out"'?
