Ive been sent a VFP app that I ned to read and eventually accessh with perl ) Im trying to install it but I get a message " use the /A swirch to run setup in administrator mode" ive tried all combination I can think of of wine '.......SETUP.EXE /A' SETUP.EXE\ /A 'SETUP.EXE' /A and many more, none of which work. How do I pass the /A switch to the program running it under wine FWIW gentoo linux and wine-20050111-r1,kernel 2.6.14-r1

I have a demo of Monkey Island 4 that will (under wine) install only about 5% of all files, yet claim everything went fine. If possible, install the program under windows and copy the files across.
