This version of Visio is old enough that it installs from floppies, rather than from CD :) and I've set it up in .wine/dosdevices according to the manpage: $ ls -la .wine/dosdevices total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 perryh staff 512 Apr 21 00:17 . drwxr-xr-x 4 perryh staff 512 Apr 22 21:07 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 perryh staff 8 Apr 21 00:17 a:: -> /dev/fd0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 perryh staff 10 Apr 19 16:39 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxr-xr-x 1 perryh staff 1 Apr 19 16:39 z: -> / mdir can read the disk, and it does contain a setup.exe, but wine can't see it: $ wine a:setup.exe wine: cannot find 'a:setup.exe' $ wine 'a:\setup.exe' wine: cannot find 'a:\setup.exe' There doesn't seem to be a manpage for winecfg: $ man winecfg No manual entry for winecfg and when I tried to run it it was not at all obvious what to do.
