Can Wine be used to access a network app? I'm getting an error from my network app "Invalid or Missing Alias Name in Client VWGUI.INI Alias (MailNodeName) Must Contain AlphNumerics ONLY No Special Characters or Spaces Press <Enter> to continue..." Any suggestions appreciated. I"m new to Wine.

So... I found an .ini file on a Win machine (client) on C:Windows. I copied it and put the same file on Wine>C:Windows. I also found another .ini file and copied it over. I found a file called VWGUI.EXE-045667A7.pf in a folder called Prefetch within C:Windows on the Win machine and copied the entire folder over to Wine. I"m getting the same response. The program opens halfway and then gives me the msg. about a missing or invalid Client Alias name. Anyone care to take a stab at this? I have all day. :)

Well, I copied the entire application over to the Wine folder C: just like it appears on the Win machines and am getting the same response.

Does a file named VWGUI.INI exist? John

One is the Global that lives on the Server and one is the Client that lives on the Client computers in the C:Windows folder. The client one is an empty .INI file. It needs to be there, but it get's it's info from the Global .INI I'm guessing. I've copied the entire folder over to Win computers before and it's worked as a local application no problem. It's so close to working. It gives me two of the three windows it opens. One is a dispatcher window, one is the main window and the one I'm not getting is an engine window. I realize I'm not explaining this very well. The more questions that are asked of me, the better I might be able to explain what I'm trying to do. I've copied everything and added it as an application through the Wine GUI as well.
VWGUI.INI exists and you copied it from a working windows box so The following error tells me that when parsing the VWGUI.INI file the program had an error and it appears that the value it gets for the variable MailNodeName is incorrect or wine is not interpreting it correctly.> "Invalid or Missing Alias Name in Client VWGUI.INI > Alias (MailNodeName) Must Contain AlphNumerics ONLY > No Special Characters or Spaces > Press <Enter> to continue..."If wine is not interpreting the result correctly it is possible that installing a native dll (possibly msvcrt) will help. Also can you post the terminal output, possibly there is something in there that will tell us.
