This is my first attempt at using wine. I have wine installed on FC5 the version wine-0.9.17-1.fc5.src.rpm . I have the winecfg, regedit, winefile, winhelp, notepad and wine software unistaller. I do not see an installer. I can't find any information that tells how to install a *.exe app on Linux and run it in wine. <copy of the wineuser-guide> Assuming you are using a fake Windows installation, you install applications into Wine in the same way you would in Windows: by running the installer. You can just accept the defaults for where to install, most installers will default to "C:\Program Files", which is fine. If the application installer requests it, you may find that Wine creates icons on your desktop and in your app menu. If that happens, you can start the app by clicking on them. <end copy of the wineuser-guide> Thanks for any help -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net

Having said that, a lot of stuff needs special treatment, so look in the Wine AppDB first for any specific guidance. Tony
