In most cases they won't work. Wine does not support any hardware drivers.
And they are required to communicate to any USB device on Windows.

You should still be able to use this software for file format conversion, etc.

Have you tried downloading images from your Nikon with native Linux
tools such as F-spot or Shotwell? They work just fine with my Pentax
DSLR. I'm running the Fedora 14 distro, which installs these programs as
standard, so the first time I plugged the Pentax in and turned it on,
its SD card was found and opened and F-spot was started automatically.
As the GIMP is a standard part of most distros, I find I don't need (and
have never tried to run) the Windows software than came with the camera.

FYI, where Windows programs for reading images from cameras and scanners
use TWAIN as the interface/driver standard, Linux uses SANE/XSANE.

Hi.
I am new to wine. I have installed wine 1.2.2 just to use View NX. I have
downloaded ViewNX 2.1.2, installed using wine 'intaller_file.exe' ; it
says intall is ok, but I cannot find the program. In program files, I see the
folder Nikon/ViewNX 2, but inside the folder I can only find a Readme file and a
Licence file.

Thanks for your help.
