HI: despite my last post, I did get dns9 installed in PCCLinuxOS, but
when it tries to run, it says it cannot find DOCOBJ.DLL. I cannot find
the file, looking for help. Found a MS help note that suggestsed
editing the registry to deal with such an error message; not sure what
to do.

HI: I am new to trying to use wine, so forgives stupid questions. I
tried recently to use wine to install Dragon Naturally Speaking 9, using
the instructions of Nancy Cragin. I am using PCLinuxOS and not ubuntu
but none of the code seems to matter. First problem is that the disks
would not completely copy to my home directory. There were several cab
files that linux could not read or copy. When I tried to run setup.exe
nothing happened and when I looked at that file on my home directory, it
was empty. Would appreiate any tips. Thanks

Hello, Alvin.
This is as good a way to ask for help as any. Just to let you know, I am doing this response by dictating into Dragon NaturallySpeaking preferred 9.0 in Ubuntu Studio Hardy Heron.
I haven't heard of your problem, which seems like a problem with your copy command. Many of the files on the Dragon disks are quite large and perhaps your copy command isn't handling them properly.
All I can suggest is that you install from the discs themselves.
In that case, the instructions will be a bit different, because you will have to change discs in midstream and this involves opening up a new terminal window and typing wine eject, inserting disc number two, closing the door, closing the new terminal window, etc. So here goes.
0. sudo rm -rf .wine
0. wineserver -k
1. sh winetricks fakeie6 gdiplus
2. Run DNS install from disk location, e.g.
wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe
3. when the installer prompts for the 2nd disc, go
to another window and run "wine eject", then insert disc, wait for it to mount, and click 'retry'.
At very end, you'll need to hit ^C.
Hope this helps.

Annoyingly, the wordview 97 installer scans the entire hard drive,
so you might want to hide your z: drive while you install it.
Here's my recipe:
wget
http://downloads.pcworld.com/pub/new/bu ... rdview.exe
cp wordview.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/wvinstall.exe
mv ~/.wine/dosdevices/z: ~/.wine/dosdevices/oldz
cd ~/.wine/drive_c
wine wvinstall.exe
cd ../..
mv ~/.wine/dosdevices/oldz ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
Susan, don't you still need to do that?

No. I do not. I haven't needed to do that for several complete versions of wine.
Alvin -- could you be running an old version of wine?
Run the following and see.
wine --version
The version should be the following, version 57.
wine-0.9.57
