There are a couple of gotcha'a on the Franks Corner page. I never did get to the part about some components were not installed. If I remember correctly the install aborted abnormally with an error or hung but I continued on following the instructions ;) Another problem with the instruction page is that the cab files were in .wine/c/"Windows Update Setup Files" vs c:\Windows\Windows Update Setup Files as stated in the instructions. The first time I fired up IE6 it complained that the install wasn't complete but wine wineboot fixed that. Then when I started IE6 it didn't connect to the internet. Another wine wineboot and that problem was solved. When I downloaded the installer I did so to .wine/c/"My Documents" and started wine ie6setup.exe from within my fake windows system. I don't know if this is necessary or not though. One thing that I have noticed from installing IE6, Dreamweaver and Paltalk is that none of the installs were smooth. There was always an error message and the install never completed but they did end up working:) Expect error messages during installs! I did have to reinstall Paltalk after installing IE6 as it caused some problems with the main room screen having no text area. I'm trying to install Office2000 now but it calls for DCOM95 and I installed DCOM98 for the IE6 install. DCOM95 won't install because I have my windows set to win98 in the .wine config file and it's expecting win95 so the install aborts. I have a question in the Franks Corner applications forum about this to see if it will cause conflicts with what I have installed. > The way I understand it, if root user installs a windows program with > wine it would be available to all users?

I have /usr/lib/wine but I don't think any of the installs do anything to those files. I believe that you are just modifying files in ~.wine directories but I could be wrong. > > jay > > On Fri, Apr 09, 2004 at 11:47:29PM -0400, Scott A.
