[Wine] How to make a simple win32 software to work under wine
Hi I'm new to wine and not having much experience on using it. The only thing I did was successfully install MS Office 2003 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). I install wine from Ubuntu official repository. I wondering it is possible for me to install and run the software called "Tonic" from "r2 Studio" http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=tonic it is a Local Area Network chatting software. I was used this program everyday for conversation in my working place. But I decided to switch to Linux platform and first problem I faced was this software. I tried to install this software, it successful install but when I try to run it by right click on the program .exe file and select "run with wine application". After that nothing happen. May I know how to make this program work under wine ?? Thank you in advance

u shouldn't open an exe "with a wine application" but with "wine" and also u may want to try adding the official wine respitory to Ubuntu so that you get the newest version of wine.

Look in the FAQ for winetricks and how to run it. [code] sh winetricks vb6run [/code] should do the trick... James McKenzie

I have already use the repository provided by the WineHQ and updated wine in my PC to the latest wine 1.1.38. I also get the runtime needed, and this time the program successfully run on linux. But it just only for normal chatting operation. It cannot allow me to set and save the setting from the preferences. So I cannot change the message style, display name and.......etc. If I change it, the system will give me an "Program Error" message said that "The program Tonic.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. So how can solve this problem ?? Is this the disadvantages of using the Linux and Wine to use Windows application ?? Thank you.
