wine users - Jan 2005 - Wine tools problems?

Don't know if this is the right place to ask for winetools assistance, 
but....

I installed the wt210jo rpm along with the latest wine rpm (20050111) 
but whenever I try to launch the install for IE6 or any of the other 
applications in Winetools, everything errors out, saying that it can't 
find OLE32.DLL. Obviously I don't have any version of windows installed 
anywhere (and this is on a laptop so space is very limited at the 
moment), and I never copied these dll's onto the drive. I looked at the 
wine package, and I'm pretty sure ole32.dll is included.. but why is it 
complaining about not finding it?

Also, where does the RPM install wine to? I am having a hard time 
actually even finding wine on the drive (even though the executable is 
in the path).

Thanks in advance!

It's OK here, I'm maintaining it.

WineTools depends on going through the whole "Base setup" process
including Creating a new fake drive, installing DCOM98 and IE6. Also it
is currently untested with 2005 versions of wine. I definitely
recommend usage of 20041019. Only a internet connection is needed, no
Windows, except for the license as you are only aloud to use DCOM98
with Win98 or newer.

rpm -qil wine

tells you everything about the wine rpm.

Indeed I have. OE does "function" initially, it takes a very long time
to startup, and functionality is limited. I use OE to check hotmail, and 
while I was able to enter in my account information it was never able to 
connect to the internet and download the mail. IE6, however, functions 
almost flawlessly (except for the fact I was going to use it for 
Turbotax' website, but then it required Adobe Acrobat 6, and after that 
installed semi-flawlessly, things didn't work right). Long story short 
it's been a very exciting process getting this stuff working; I just 
need more time to refine the configuration a bit I think and try more 
skus to get this sorted out.

This was actually resolved by just going through and installing the font 
packs. I'm sure it was only one of the fonts, but I was not paying 
attention the first time through. When I have more time to invest 
testing this (instead of testing at my job) I will document what is 
needed for this particular application in Wine and make the information 
available on the particular application forums for the next person.
