I'm using Wine on a Ubuntu 10.04 box. I'm having problems with two apps. If it's okay, I'll describe both problems here and see if there's some insight to be gained. 1. I have a free app called cslesson. It prepares lessons for Christian Science students. The install goes just fine, but when I try to run the app, I get a "File not found" error. Since the app is free, I've uploaded it to http://www.box.com/s/0mkqyx5l0t3vslvvb9dy and hope someone will take a moment to download it -- a little more than 2 meg -- and see if some insight can be gained. 2. The more difficult problem is with a commercial product called Concord. It's also a Christian Science-oriented app. It allows you to enter a search term and it searches the corpus of Christian Science literature for hits. The behavior is so strange. I can enter a search term, it then displays -- correctly -- the titles that contain that search term, with page numbers correctly displayed. But when I click on the link, a completely irrelevant page opens in the book itself. Just bizarre! For the record, the app works just fine under both CrossOver and VirtualBox. It's only under Wine that it misbehaves. I wonder if anyone has some idea about this kind of error. Thanks.

You didn't say what version of Wine you're using. If it's not 1.4, upgrade. If the apps don't work in 1.4, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
Yes, using 1.4. I started cslesson from a terminal window, and this helped. I got an error message wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\cslesson.exe" I have no idea what the L is for in this command line, but the problem emerges rather clearly. cslesson is not in the system32 folder, but in the Program Files folder. Any thoughts on how to change where Wine is looking for the program? Thanks again.

You first have to change to the directory where the file is located and then run it. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal has more information on running programs through the console/terminal.

Is it this program? http://christianscience.org/CSLessons.htm As I noticed, this program is too old and uses old Visual Basic libraries (1998), such as vbrun300.dll, cmdialog.vbx and blaster.vbx Anyway it runs fine on Windows XP, and missing those files (listed) in linux.

Yes, even with all those files placed to folder with CSLesson.exe it gives same error in message box: File Not Found :?
Maybe the program missing some registry entry with the path or value
