Using Wine


Hey,

I just got a windows .exe file downloaded on my computer. First I right click and select "open with" I then type in "wine" and a window quickly appears and then vanishes. It's not open long enough for me to tell what it says.

I'm running SuSE 9.2

Thanks

Try running it from a command prompt. i.e., open up a shell and type:

Code:
wine whatever.exe
