to install .msi files

[kaushik12]

hi ,

I downloaded the CoffeeCup Html editor . and installed it using wine .
then i tried opening in my vista PC .
it says it needs some DHTML component .
then after dwnloading it . i noticed it was a .msi file .

how do I install a .msi file ?

In wine or Vista?

In wine, it is

msiexec /i programname.msi

In Vista you would just double click it.

while installing the DHTML component . it says it needs Vista .
how do I mimic that

You will either need to copy some files over from Vista, or possibly run "winecfg" and set the program (or the default, it is up to you) to be "Vista".

Of course, it is possible that the program will not work at all, so you may need to take that into consideration as well.
