Good Afternoon All, I am new in using WINE (1st try at it in fact) and need some help in running an IE 7 installation program that produces the following error message: *Unable to find a volume for File Extraction. Please verify that you have proper permissions * When I check with Explorer, I have Drive C, H and Z. The only thing that comes to mind is the /Windows/Temp directory... maybe something wrong there? Does anyone have a resonable explanation / solution to my problem? Thank you in advance, Doug! -- Henry Kissinger "There can't be a Crisis, my schedule is full for next week!" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You raise a good problem, and an issue that should be addressed... but it probably won't get a great deal of immediate attention because the developers are not concentrating on apps that do not have a Linux equivalent (Firefox, in this case). If you can't use Firefox for your needs (maybe you're a web developer that needs to test under multiple client apps), I recommend checking out IEs4Linux (http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page). -J Douglas Murray wrote:> Good Afternoon All, > > I am new in using WINE (1st try at it in fact) and need some help in > running an IE 7 installation program that produces the following error > message: > > *Unable to find a volume for File Extraction. > Please verify that you have proper permissions > * > When I check with Explorer, I have Drive C, H and Z.

It may be possible in the first case to use the fake IE that is provided by Wine. In the second case, Wine does not support installation of IE. I highly recommend getting and installing the Windows version of FireFox and seeing if that will suffice. James McKenzie
