Hi thanx for all the help, I found this solution worked for me. This is a slight twist on Gino's post, he deserves all the credit :)
1 - install 3.0beta for linux (.deb downloaded from web) 2 - used the wine binaries included at this installation.... so: cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin ./wine /home/<YOU>/Software/picasa36-setup.exe - use default install location 3 - this installs at /home/<YOU>/.wine/drive_c but this is not our objetive... so su - (became root) cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\/Google rm -Rf Picasa* cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin ./wine /home/feanor/Software/picasa36-setup.exe - this time change install location to Z:\opt\google\picasa\3.0\wine\drive_c\Program Files\Google\Picasa3 Cheers, Andrew On Dec 24, 10:40 am, Gino <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok Warpitaly... this is what I did...
