wine users - Oct 2008 - Garmin Trip & Waypoint Manager installer won't run

Hi,

I'm trying to install version 4.0 from the CD that came with my GPS unit.
I'm able to run Setup.exe and get to the initial startup menu. The links to
visit the Garmin website and exit the installation work fine but when I click
the one to install the app I get the hourglass cursor for a fraction of a
second, like it's starting to do something, but nothing happens. This is my
first attempt at using wine so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using PCLinux OS 2007 with wine 0.9.58 installed from the repositories.

That version of Wine is old. Upgrade to the latest, 1.1.6. If you still have
problems, post console output.

Look for Wine 1.0 for PCLinux.  De-install 0.9.58 and install this
version in its place.  If the program cannot be installed, then attempt
to use the latest development build, which is 1.1.6, if available.
