I am new to Linux and wine. I installed a program and it runs fine from inside winefile but when run from wine command line it only loads the main part of the program and the modules don't work. I have searched for an answer, but can't find one. What am I missing what is the difference between winefile and wine when starting an application? The reason for wanting to run from wine command line is to make a launcher for the kids to use. thanks, Steve
As far as I know, the only difference that should affect this is that from the command line you can control the working directory and whether the command line contains the full path. Most programs I've tried prefer to be called from the path where they reside. I've also heard that a few will only work if they are invoked with the full path. So try changing to the directory where the exe is and doing this: wine c:\\path\\to\\program.exe On 6/18/06, shebaaa <shebaaa> wrote:> I am new to Linux and wine.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it still the same results. I will keep fiddling with it and searching for an answer.
