Greetings from a noob.
I am having a little difficulty trying out Wine-20050111 on a fully
updated athlon fedora core 2 system and hope other wine users can help.
Review of the wine-users.pdf file included in the wine rpm and scanning
some of the wine-users mailing list archives have not pointed to any
solutions.
I am trying to install Turbotax from a Turbtax distribution CD. (The
only windows application available.)
Winetools (winetools-2.1.0-jo.i386.rpm) was used to setup wine
(wine-20050111-1fc2winehq.athlon.rpm).
xdialog-2.1.1-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm was also installed to support winetools.
Wine apparently installed. Typing wine at a console prompt produces the
short, two or three line wine help text.
Typing winecfg at a prompt produces a tabbed dialog box showing d: =
/dev/cdrom. /dev/cdrom is mounted. Per the wine-users.pdf, care has
been taken to see that the fstab parameters for /dev/cdrom include
"unhide". (/dev/cdrom/ /cdrom iso9660 ro, noauto,users,unhide 0 0)
However,
$ wine d:\Setup
$ wine d:Setup
$ wine d:\Setup.exe
$ wine d:Setup.exe
$ wine D:Setup.exe
$ wine Setup.exe
all produce the following response.
wine: cannot find 'filename'
To further test the wine installation, I copied the TurboTax CD
Setup.exe file to my /home/user/ directory.
After a brief pause at the command, $ wine Setup.exe , another prompt
($) appeared.
system.log entries read --
localhost wine: Registering binary handler for windows applications
localhost rc: Starting wine succeeded
winetools.log reads --
*new* fake windows drive created at dd:mm:yyyyy hh:mm:ss
installed-software file is empty.
TIA for your helpful ideas and suggestions.
