So I copy this to the c: drive inside the ./wine folder, and it runs just fine. The problem starts when I try to login to the software itself UN: "ADMIN" (without the quotes, of course) it will always assume CAPS, so it's not case sensitive, and the PW: is also "admin" (I keep typing it in lowercase, but I am not sure if this is case sensitive or not, I didn't code the program) and I get this error: [img]https://picasaweb.google.com/vette95/Jun92011?feat=directlink#5616290378512219490[/img]
Can you do a the following (as root, do NOT RUN WINE as root though.)

find / -name '~*.tmp'

and see if that file in the error message is anywhere on your system (it 
should be in .wine/drive_c/windows/tmp)?
