Paul,
   PLEASE, do not respond to me directly. Respond to the list. If you
email these to me I will likely delete your message without responding
as spam.

   Of course wineboot is in /usr/bin on my machine. I gave you a
listing of how I found it. I didn't make it up.

   You should not be looking in /home/.wine for Wine related install
files but rather /home/paul/.wine as Wine is stored locally by
default.

   It sounds like either your distro or your machine has a broken Wine
installation. You have not given anyone enough info to really help
much. We don't know your distro. We don't know how Wine was installed.
We don't know much about the application. You have not provided a link
to a demo version that we could possibly try out.

   Try to give more info on what you are doing. You said it was
'installed'. You said you could 'run it'. You didn't say what
happened. Does it just die with nothing ever appearing and only text
in your terminal?
