[Wine] Ubuntu 8.10 - Irfanview - no longer able to install or use.

[David Shaw]

Wine works fine and opens .exe files on my 8.10 install, so try the 
following.

Open Nautilus
Navigate to your Wine C: drive folder
Find a .exe file - any .exe will do
Right click on it
Go to the 'Open with' tab
Select 'Wine Windows Program Loader' *
Click OK

All .exe files will now open with Wine.  Even DOS programs that need to 
be run with DOSBox (well, they'll try, anyway  :-)  ).

HTH,

David Shaw

* If Wine Windows Program Loader is not listed, click on 'Add' and find 
it in the list.  If it's not in the list, click on 'Use a custom 
command' and get to it that way.
