wine users - Sep 2011 - Re: Visual C++ installation Help?

Hello !

I installed Wine on OSX.

Then wget because it doesn't come with OSX.

And winetricks, although it didn't install correctly/

"Jkirk279$ sh winetricks 
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned unexpanded string
'%ProgramFiles%' ... can be caused a corrupt wineprefix, an old wine, or
by not owning /Users/Jkirk279/.wine"


I then used the instructions on
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9569

The process went okay and downloaded all ten .cab segments.

I downloaded the .bat file and the Extract.exe file.

And I entered "wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"

But I got this message:

"Jkirk279$ wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Environment variable not found"

Can somebody translate ?    The .bat file should have triggered Extract.exe,
combined the ten segments into one and run the installer, correct ?

Thanks...

Batch files are not exe's, so start.exe probably isn't the appropriate
thing to execute them with. They are DOS/command prompt scripts, analogous to
bash scripts. They are text files with a list of command prompt commands.

Fortunately, WINE has its own command prompt. Try using that.

Go to terminal, and type in "wine cmd.exe". Now you should be in the
WINE cmd shell. Try and get it to run the batch file.

Cheers,
Jake
