Sadly, the fact that wine is not yet able to run setup.exe is evidence that wine is still lacking some emulation abilities, and while I am aware that the situation is trying to be improved, I am not actively participating in that effort. For now, I am only aware of the ability to run cygwin on native windows boxes (including virtual machines). In fact, I'm currently using a 240-day evaluation license of Windows Sever 2008 inside a VM to experiment with cygwin on my Linux box, without having spent any extra money. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig6CD3A7A311689346C7E94685 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAku591kACgkQ84KuGfSFAYD0DACcDbio3yRqvv4M/eJYwP5Uh0ep ZO4AoLUisKx8GdfKtVnIaAuIImBFwgPs =RgvI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6CD3A7A311689346C7E94685--
