[Wine] Wine 0.9.11 and Visual Foxpro 9

G'day

I am trying to install Visual FoxPro 9 with wine. I have been following 
the instructions from "http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/wine/". I have had 
to slightly modify the paths used for the symlinks because the format of 
version 9 appears to differ from that of version 8. Or it's because they 
didn't lend me the original disks.

Basically an extra directory level called "mcrsftvs" exists in the 
"root", then setup.exe etc. under that.

- I am doing this on a CentOS4.
- Compiled from source, no rpms.
- I removed the stock CentOS rpm before proceeding.


I can install other programs, ie; games, a few calculators and other 
utilities I downloaded form tucows for testing. However, when I run the 
setup for VFP9 I get the message:

     Visual FoxPro Setup

Setup was unable to copy the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
FoxPro 9\mcrsftvs to your temporary directory. Please make sure
that this file exists and rerun setup.

Has anyone seen this message before? Permissions issue maybe? I have 
checked it but could be missing something. Possibly just a lousy copy? 
(He's really protective of the originals).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I need to get it running as 
soon as possible so a client can get off his ailing Novell. Three days 
of reading and trying. I must be missing something simple. Hence the 
call for help....;-) Thanks....

Hopefully helpful info below:

Possibly I have re-adjusted the symlinks incorrectly, but I have 
rehecked them:

ln -s ../../prg/Microsoft\ Visual\ FoxPro\ 9/mcrsftvs/msvcr70.dll 
msvcr70.dll
ln -s ../../prg/vfp9/program\ files/microsoft\ visual\ foxpro\
