You can't install complete Wine on Windows. Only few dlls which won't be enough to run any programs under Wine.

You will have to install Wine 32 bit in order to this. Wine on Windows will not do what you want to do.> >on linux + wine it is ok, but how to do on windows?Why do you insist on running Windows? Is there some "I've got to have this program" that will only run on Windows7 in 64 bit mode? Otherwise just move to Linux and get it over with.>sadly reactos does not support 16 bit windows programs. why not?Ask them. We don't have anything to do with that project. James McKenzie

We don't care what they can and cannot do. As to their capabilities, that is for them to determine and fix, not this project. James McKenzie
