in a console you'll have to type

Code:

wine /path/to/exefile.exe

or if you are in the right directory

Code:

wine exefile.exe

assuming its completely set up correctly

i kinda overlooked the following thing in your post

Code:

No Match for argument wine
Nothing to do

you havent installed wine at all yet

go here http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index and follow instructions on installing it and using it first if you have dificulties understanding.. ask.

on FC5 the command to install it (based on yum search, not my experience) would be:

Code:

yum -y install wine.i386

I'm sure this command will work on FC3. This assumes you're not running on a 64-bit machine. I would also suggest you not run wine as root unless you really have to.

hi fudam!
thanks for the advice,i finally did install wine on my system.
but whenever an application of *.exe is run, i cant see any text on the window,its all just blank...
i cant even see the text in the configuration file
how should i overcome this ?

could probably a font problem so this page explains it

for other configuration that needs to be done go here

a very usefull tool is winetool

download it and install it using these instructions

what does that mean?? should i copy all the fonts in linux to the windows directory in c:\windows\fonts or vice-versa ??The docmentation for fonts is too va

gue.

Youri · 09-15-2006, 04:09 PM

all fonts from c:\windows\fonts from your real windows installation need to go to the virtual c:\windows\fonts folder

~/.wine/dosdevices/drive_c or something similar should be your virtual c:\windows\fonts folder you should check and verify that
