[Wine] Re: wine-0.9.15 & winetools problems.

[samuel herzog]

Your point of view will not help for users comming from windows and would
like to switch to linux.

Things like this :

> $ rm -rf .wine
> $ wineprefixcreate
> $ cp inseng.dll .wine/drive_c/windows/system32
> $ wine ie6setup.exe

in not what a windows user wants to see.
I can tell it from my own expirience. I had to make a vb-app running on wine

several month of try&error.
