I encounter the same situation. When I select some photos and then
click Create->Movie->From selection a dialog pops up that says "This
Feature is Not Supported for Windows 2000". I am not running Picassa
under my wine installation. I previously installed the Linux version
of Picassa, which, as I understand it, has its own version of WINE
embedded within itself. Later, however, I followed instructions
somewhere, maybe in this forum, about loading the latest Picassa, I
didn't think that I was running it against my native WINE installation
but maybe that is the case. I poked around a bit and what I am
actually executing is the shell script /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/
picasa. This script does a lot of work massaging the environment and
then finally executes this line:
exec "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper license.exe.so /gate "c:\Program Files
\Google\Picasa3\Picasa3.exe" "$@"
PIC_BINDIR is set to be the directory where your pictures are stored.
"wrapper" is a complex shell script in /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin. I
sets a bunch of environmental variables. Obviously Google didn't embed
a custom version of WINE but rather a complex set of shell scripts to
massage the execution environment of WINE.
A section section in "wrapper" relevant to this discussion is the
portion below that sets the WINE environment to Windows 2000:
set_winver_win2k() {
# Set Windows version to win2k (from winetricks)
local winver=`mktemp /tmp/winever.reg.XXXXXX`
cat > "$winver" <<_EOF_
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine]
"Version"="win2k"
_EOF_
"${WINELOADER:-wine}" regedit "$winver"
rm -f "$winver"
}
I haven't altered the script to set it to WinXP but it would be
interesting to see what the result was!
