Hi,
I have trying to install Bioedit on linux with the help of wine. On my 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10 MDAC 2.8, 2.6 failed to install (says not compatible). However, I could install MDAC 2.7. But still Bioedit says MDAC component is missing with the following messge
$ wine setup.exe

When it found matches, I just changed any number that was 2.8 or 28 to 2.5 or 25. After that I reinstalled BioEdit and it worked fine. I know this is somewhat crude, but I was fairly desperate. The reason this worked is because I had previously used winetricks to install all versions of MDAC, and not just 2.8. I just pointed wine at 2.5 instead of 2.8.
