how do I get it working ?

[rob.rice]

I have a almost fresh install of windows XP on /dev/hdb1
( it was installed on another computer and I moved the drive to my linux computer )
windows was booting on the other computer
it was installer with a FAT 32 file system so linux has no problems with the file system on the windows partition
the wine package came from linuxpkgs
I would like to use the windows *.dlls where ever I can
so far all I have gotten to run is winecfg
what is this error message about
"fixme:ntdll:FILE_GetNtStatus Converting errno 40 to STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL"
and how do I fix this error
"Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible."
I don't know what I will do with it I just want it working at this point

Please don't. Wine doesn't really like to use native .dll's, and
we ask users to avoid that.

Why are you trying to use windows dlls? Wine ships with its own.
Reinstall your apps in wine, don't run them from a windows partition.

First off, since it sounds like your setup is questionable at best:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wine setup.exe # install your program here

[rob.rice]

did that and this is my out put from wine setup

Two things.
- What Wine version? (run 'wine --version')
- Why are you running as root? You should not ever need to run as root on *NIX unless you performing system maintenance.

Log out of root.
Log in as normal user.
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.wine # in case you ran wine with sudo before

Then does either:
$ wineprefixcreate
or
$ wine --version

work?

Don't use root here as you clearly broke your configuration for Wine. Remove ~/.wine directory for BOTH user and root. Then try again.

And I'm asking again, what is the Wine version are you using??? Post complete output of running 'wine --version'.

First, login as simple user, there is no need to run as root without good
reasons. Then run this:

rm -rf ~/.wine

If this gives you an error then run "sudo rm -rf ~/.wine". Now run:

wineprefixcreate

Try winecfg:

winecfg

Does it work now? If yes, try to run "setup.exe" for program you want to
install; if setup fails (but winecfg works) and you need more help don't
forget to mention what program you are trying to install and is there a demo
version for it or not.

This is *very* bad habit. You will get much more problems by doing this. If
you will not try to run *anything* as root first without good reasons you
will not have permission problems. This is as simple as that. By trying "all
new software" as root you are creating a lot of permission problems for
yourself, and this is also very insecure. Don't do this (and correct
permissions you already messed up by doing this), and you will not have such
problems anymore.

"wine version" is wrong command. Try this (just copy & paste):

wine --version

You should get something like this as an output:

wine-0.9.58

[rob.rice]

deleted both ~.wine directory's
ran wine setup
ran wine version
this was it's output
rob@darkstar:~$ wine version

rob@darkstar:~$ wine --version

After
$ rm -rf ~/.wine

Does:

Work?

Did you make sure ~/.wine got deleted?
You might need to do sudo rm -rf ~/.wine to
really delete yours.

If this gives you an error then run "sudo rm -rf ~/.wine".

Correction. The -f flag on rm suppresses all warnings, so
you have to actively check to see if .wine got deleted, e.g.
ls -ld ~/.wine
If that shows anything, it's probably because root owns your .wine
directory, so rm -rf didn't work. To delete files you created as
root, you have to delete them as root.

I removed the package with pkgtool
then installed the slackware package from winehq
I tryed to run rob@darkstar:~$ wine iexplore.exe
and got a blank window BUT the right click menu comes up with the standard options
top shows that both wineserver and iexplorr are running so what now

Then wine appears to be working. Use it to run whatever windows app
you were trying to run in the first place .

what about the blank window when I run iexplore this just can't be right

No, that's what it actually does!

It doesn't include all the controls, etc - it's not a complete
reimplementation of Internet Explorer, just something that pretends to
be MSHTML using the Mozilla Gecko layout engine.

Try this:

wine iexplore http://www.bbc.co.uk/

You should get the BBC page, and you should be able to right-click for
menus and so on.

OK that works
how do I go about using the real thing ( not that I would want to but there some downloads
that M$ will not allow from linux or any browser other than internet exploiter )

I think you're confusing WGA with a browser check. A lot of microsoft
downloads require a WGA check, which using native iexplore isn't going
to help with.

You should NEVER log in as root unless you're painted into a corner where
doing so is the only possible way, and even then only to get the task
requiring root done. Before continuing, make sure you have a normal user
account, log out of root, and use your normal account. Same goes for su or
sudo: Don't use these commands to use root privleges when they're not
necessary, either.

If the program you were trying to run is installed on your Windows partition,
yes, you should reinstall it in wine. Wine has it's own registry and is not
aware of any possible Windows installation's registry and vice versa: Trying
to install programs in Windows and expecting them to work under Wine won't
work for the same reason you can't install programs in Wine and expect them
to work in Windows.
