well if wine was installed wiht redhat then it is probly an old version and you dont want it anyways, you might want to try rpm -e winepackagename or else try going into /usr/include/wine and type make uninstall then download a new version fo wine and install that, usually when wine is packaged with a distro then by the time the end user gets it it is outdated/broken

#wine <path of an exe file>
then i got an error:
wineserver: chdir /root/.wine : No such file or directory

hi aparna ( Appu ),
the error clearly says it cant find /root/.wine directory.
do

# mkdir /root/.wine

and restart wine.

regards,
Sunny.

Hi appu,

Download your appropriate wine. here.

Wine shop!!

--------------------------

After downloading,

Step 1:

# rpm -ivh --force wine*.rpm

Step 2:

# wineserver

Step 3:

$ wine program.exe

you are done....
I've just TESTED wine ( just now installed wine :8 ) and it's working

regards,
Sunny.

send your system configuragation:

Version of your Linux: eg. Redhat 8, or 9 or something like that.
Make of your processor: P4, P3, Athlon or some thing like that.

hi,

This is your RIGHT wine.

Golkonda Wine

LOAD this wine. and then run wineserver as root. only then run wine.


PS: what's this appu? dont know how to drink WINE

[aparna]

hey sunnylearns just have a look at this:
[root@aparna root]# wine /root/ymsgr.exe
Invalid path L"c:\\windows" for L"windows" directory: does not exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine configuration file (/root/.wine/config)

now what????????????????
and by the way how do u get to know which wine is appropriate for a particular system??????????????????????

PS: trying wine first time
