wine points to the windows folder not the programme folder

this is the same behaviour has what windows displays, if you want to load a program from the program files folder you have to use the wine command like this
wine "C:\Program Files\Path\To\Application\application.exe"

replacing path\to\application\application.exe with whatever is the path and filename of the .exe you want to run

Gord,
Thank you for your quick reply but I still have a problem.
Here is a copy of my terminal:
john@john-desktop:~$ wine c:\program files\softcross\prnt.exe
wine: cannot find 'c:program'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine c:\Program Files\SoftCross\prnt.exe
wine: cannot find 'c:Program'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine 'c:\Program Files\SoftCross\prnt.exe'
wine: cannot find 'c:\Program Files\SoftCross\prnt.exe'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine 'dosdevices\drive_c\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt.exe'
wine: cannot find 'dosdevices\drive_c\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt.exe'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt.exe"
wine: cannot find 'C:\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt.exe'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine C:\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt.exe
wine: cannot find 'C:Program'
john@john-desktop:~$ wine home/john/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SoftCross/Prnt.exe
wine: cannot find 'home/john/.wine/drive_c/Program'
john@john-desktop:~$
Do wine commands need to be enclosed in quotation marks?
Regards,
John

yes they do if they have spaces, such as wine "C:\path\to\program files\application dir\hello.exe"
you should make sure thats actually where the .exe exists though

Hi Gord,
Thank you for your help.
I can now get wine to run but Prnt (my program) "could not access the systems registry".
Below is the output from my terminal:
john@john-desktop:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\SoftCross\Prnt\Prnt.exe"
fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile (0x130140)->(0x130518, 0, (nil)), hacked stub.
err:module:import_dll Library MFC40.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\MSGHOO32.OCX") not found
err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"c:\\windows\\system32\\MSGHOO32.OCX"

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {307c5040-76b3-11ce-bf00-0080ad0ef894} could be created for context 0x5
Have you any suggestions?
Regards,
John

wine is not perfect software and you shouldn't expect it to definatly be able to run any windows program you throw at it.

in this case it suggests that you need to find MFC40.dll on the internet somewhere and put it into C:\windows\system32\

John, If you still have the windows partition you can kook it up there.
