Has anyone ever set up Winesetuptk?

Im looking for someone to give me a little walk through on using winesetuptk on a SuSE 9.1 personal dual boot. I can get the main screen to come up but I dont want to mess up the install.
Thanks

I installed both wine and winesetuptk from RPM on Fedora Core2.
Start with winesetuptk
Select your wine config file by hitting Other and Browse on the first screen or use the default if it exists.
On the second screen select Use an existing windows partition: if winesetuptk detects it, else you can create a fake-windwos.
On the next screen I just selected NEXT but you can take a look at all things there. Here I always use WIN98 emulation.

Usualy it's a like Windows...Next...Next...Next...Finish

Hope it helped!

Awesome worked great, but the one .exe that I really wanted to use seems not to work (W.bloggar). Is there anything else I can do to get this to work?

Have you tried to download an wine rpm from here for your SuSe 9.1 ? On Fedora it works great without configuring it, just install it rpm -ihv package.rpm and run for the first time wine alone so it will configure automatically. Then like usually wine /path/to/file.exe

What is this windows programm you are trying to run?

Ive got wine running with the fake windows install. I downloaded a program I use in Windows called W.Bloggar (Which is a blogging client that I use to post to my typepad site). I installed the program with wine, it even put a shortcut to the .exe on my desktop, but when I try to run it from the shortcut or from the actual .exe file under my fake windows folder it acts as if its going to start and then just doesnt.

When you run it from the terminal, do you get some errors?

Did you try to run it from the real windows path? Like /media/windows/Program Files/.../file.exe or whereever you mounted windows?
