Hello,
with the massive help of Sven Paschukat I can proudly announce the new
release of WineTools 0.9. This version works together with the latest
versions of wine 0.9 and 0.91 and has many bug fixes.
New Software:
- Future Pinball (Games)
- Steam (Games)
- StarMoney 5.0 German Homebanking (Business)
- Google Earth (Graphics) - is only rudimentarily working
- Foobar 2000 (Player)
- IE6 Dutch (Base)
WineTools is a menu driven installer for installing about 90 Windows
programs under the x86 (Athlon or Intel PC) processor architecture with
the Linux operating system using Wine. This software lets you install
the following Windows software:
* DCOM98
* IE6
* Windows Core Fonts
* Windows System Software
* Office & Office Viewer
* Adobe Photoshop 7, Illustrator 9
* many other programs
It also sets up your .wine directory in the correct way, downloads the
files to install from the web (only the free and shareware ones for
sure), installs Windows fonts and lets you uninstall and configure your
software.
WineTools was initially written by Frank Hendriksen
<frank@franksworld.net> and was extended by me (Joachim von Thadden
<thadden@web.de>) and Sven Paschukat <Sven.Paschukat@t-online.de>.
It is
licensed under the GPL.
You can download WineTools at the well known location:

Joachim von Thadden

Thanks for the new release, I'll get to work packaging it up for Debian.

Also, does Winetools install the Mozilla ActiveX control properly? Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Firefox under wine will also allow you to run shockwave apps.
