hello everybody I recently installed wine on snow leopard and successfully installed my first windows application :-) then I tried to install another one but it failed, with this error message: Code: wine setup.exe wine: could not run L"Z:\\Users\\*****\\desktop\\*****\\installer\\setup.exe": 16-bit/DOS support missing This is probably a very common and easy-to-solve problem for you all, but I must admit that I didn't find anything yet about this kind of problem, except DOS emulators for OS X, which is not what I need... Thank you very much in advance for your help -a-

This is because 16 bit application building on Leopard is broken. Nothing to do with your system and there is an open bug report that Wine cannot fix. James McKenzie
so you mean I'm stuck? nothing I can do nor hope?
