DdeConnect errors while running setup.exe

Dear Wine Developers, Due to resource constraints (75 MHz processor, 1.2 GB hard drive, 16 MB RAM), we recently replaced Windows98 on our daughter's PC with Linux Mandrake, using the IceWM window manager. It isn't quite as flashy as Windows, but it boots beyond the startup screen, which is more than can be said for Win98. Well, to make a long story short, I've installed and configured Wine following the instructions in the Wine User's Guide. Everything seems to be working properly, but when I attempted to run the setup.exe for 'Jim Henson Muppets Letters: Capital & Small', I received the following errors: err:ddeml:DdeConnect .. but no Server window available err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle fixme:ddeml:DdeUninitialize16 stub calling DdeUninitialize Following the recomendations in the Wine User's Guide, section 3.2 (Installing Wine Without Windows), I re-ran wine with --debug msg +module,+file. I didn't see anything in the trace that jumped out at me, but I've attached it here, just in case it means something to someone else. One last thing. The setup.exe appears to be a 16-bit app, originally designed for Windows 3.1. Not sure if that makes any difference or not. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ian D.
