wine users - Feb 2009 - Cambridge Grammar cd (runs with Win 98, NT4 ... not wine?)

Hi everyone,

Today I tried to use the CD-ROM that came with my "Cambridge Grammar of
English" on Ubuntu 8.10 and Wine 1.1.14

The install went ok, but when I try to run it I get the following error:


Code:
$ wine start 'C:\Program Files\Cambridge\Cambridge Grammar of
English\cge.exe'

(thread 0018), starting debugger...



It says "starting debugger..." but that's actually the last thing
it does. I've waited ages and nothing else has been printed to the console.

Anyone got any ideas on what to try with it? The literature says this should run
with Windows 98, NT4, 2000, ME or XP - so it seems a bit odd that it
wouldn't run on Wine. It can't be demanding anything too funky or
recent.

Would be great to get this working as I'm teaching English in Japan from
March and the book weighs too much to squeeze into my meagre luggage allowance!!

Cheers,


V

'cd' into above directory and use this command to start your program:

Code:
wine 'C:\Program Files\Cambridge\Cambridge Grammar of English\cge.exe'
