I'm trying to use Wine on an Intel Mac (OS 10.4.11) to run the Amazon Kindle
for PC app. I've installed Wine following the instructions at
http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/
and when I do "wine KindleForPCinstaller.exe" from SH's $
prompt, it successfully creates the file "Kindle For PC.desktop"
(which looks like a Windows shortcut or batch/shell file), although it does give
the warnings
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!err:ole:CoGetClassObject class
{6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not

err:ole:create_server class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not

fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c}
could be created for context 0x17
But, now I can't seem to run it - it says
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\Users\mlevin\Desktop\Kindle For PC.desktop
how do I actually run the thing?
thanks,
Mike

Open that file and then look for a file ending in .exe In Terminal, type: cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/<directory for Kindle Program> wine <name of executable file> Replace the <directory for Kindle Program> with the actual directory name. You will have to 'escape' the space character with a backslash (\) character in front, like I did for the Program Files directory. Replace the <name of executable file> with the actual file name including the .exe extension. Post back any information given to this forum 'thread'. James McKenzie

The way your using Wine, your going to have to launch fro the command line... by cd into the folder with the .exe and type "wine theexename.exe"

Ok; I found it, and did "wine KindleForPC.exe", and I see fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered err:ole:create_server class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} could be created for context 0x17 and nothing else happens. Any ideas? thank you, Mike
