MS OFFICE 2003 & Wine!


Hi I have been using wine sucessfully for a long time. Today however I opted to try installing the latest CVS version to see if I could get the new Office 2003 support.

Everything runs fine and it installed without a glitch. The only thing is whenever I try to run any windows executable, I get the the following output:

Quote:
wine SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system" is not accessible.
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/raid517', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: cannot open (null)Wine failed with return code 1
Does anyone know what this means, or how to fix it?

There is a directory in ~/.wine that is called dosdrive if I am not mistaken. Check there to see if the symbolik link to the virtual C:\ drive exists.
Also check the folder permissions.
