Win Software on Linux

[Thomas Kaiser]

What are the errors you get? Maybe you need to copy some ddl's and/or 
ocx, too!
I think comctl33.ocx and comdlg32.ocx is needed to run VB application. 
Just copy this files from your windows installation to the fake wine 
folder "system32". If you don't care about copyright issues, you can 
just copy the whole contens of the system32 folder from your windows 
installation to your fake wine syste32 folder. So, wine will look in 
that if it does not have the dll, oxc or whatever already build in (as 
far as I know).
