Hi folks, I need to use a SW to program an ethernet-to-serial converter from Tibbo company. After running the SW installer I was able to use it clicking on its icon in the winectl window. The program is not a .exe or .com file (I do not know if it is a script language or not). It used to run quite fine on wine. But after upgrading wine (9.60) and my Linux distribuition (Mandriva 2008.1) winectl is not available anymore. The question is: is there another way to start DS manager? I have the DSManager (TDST_3-9-82.zip) at the link below: http://www.astrotec.com.br/arquivos/TIBBO.zip or at the Tibbo?s site: http://www.tibbo.com/downloads.php

I do not remember exactly. I make a wine update as soon as it is available for my Linux distribuition (contrib source). Maybe the winectl was left from an older version of wine. A few days ago I made an upgrade to Mandriva 2008.1. After that I could not use DS Manager anymore. Actually I had to install form scratch and then copied the /home dir to keep the user private files. The other directories are new and older stuff on then were discarded.
My previous reply was lost. There is not a winectl command, it is "wine control". Sorry for the mistake. "wine control" works fine. It is there where I can have a valid shortcut to run DS Manager. DS Manager is not a .exe or .com file. The shortcut created on wine during setup is:>env WINEPREFIX="/home/maurelio/.wine" wine "c:\windows\command\start.exe" "E:\SW\Windows\Tibbo\TDST_3-9-82\rundll32" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL tdstui32.cpl, at 0>which does not work. The same created on windows is :>C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL tdstui32.cpl, at 0>Marco Aurelio
