how to install wine in vector linux

Hello i just downloaded wine and I want to install it on vector linux. I want to install it with the .sh thingie. how do i do that?

Hi there and welcome LQ.

First go here to download the latest package:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ackage_id=6301

Then open up a terminal

If you are not allready root type

Code:

su root

Then to install wine type:

Code:

installpkg wine-<date>-i<n>86-S9.tgz

Then create a fake windows folder. For that purpose you can use winetools. Get them here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winetools/

Some of your programs may need dcom95 or dcom98 to install.

You can install dcom typing this:

Code:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" wine dcom95.exe

Hope this helps you out :)

a mod or admin can close this now
