Hello,
I had wine to install my programs in another driver, but it's an .exe file.
Can anyone tell me how to run the application?
should i run it in GUI mode or terminal. The driver to store the application
is 'storage' while the folder for that application is 'warcfa'
Anyone gives me some hints. Thanks.
