Problem with wine after installation

[cjpicc11]

Hello,

After I install wine I attempt to run the following command to make sure it was installed..

wine version

After running that command I get this...

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\version.exe"

I get a similar message when attempting to to run 'wine help'

I presume this is one of the reasons that I have been unable to install MS OFFice as well. Can anyone help me on this? I installed wine using the YUM.

I am running Fedora 16.

With all due respect, RTFM and try to remember what it says. Those are
both options and are clearly described as being '--version' and
'--help', not 'version' and 'help'.

Could be. Whether it is depends entirely on what you typed and you
haven't told us that.

Hello cjpicc11,

I believe that you must type:

wine --version

To install MS Office

mount your cdrom

then in a terminal change into the the /media/cdrom directory

and type:

wine setup.exe

I would suggest making a script with

cd /Media/cdrom
wine setup.exe

Then run the script so the terminal does not lock your
cdrom, other wise wine eject may not unmount cdrom before
ejecting the disc.

Hello cjpicc11,

I meant to type

cd /media/cdrom

sorry

To install MS Office

See instructions for your Office version on AppDB. There are few things you might need to do to have it working properly.
