Everytime I've tried to use it I get an error about a bad installation (or something to that effect). This occurs using the Windows install, and a native FreeBSD install using WINE. I assume this is due to the registry. Does the local WINE registry need certain permissions? Can I copy over the Windows registry? Yada, yada, yada. It's not that big of a deal to me, or I would have asked someone more knowledgable before now. But this might be a good mini-article to write up for advocacy: how to run that fussy Windows programs under FreeBSD.
