In wine, at least on a 64 bit system, I have $HOME (referring to my home directory, for example, if your user name is chris, it would be /home/chris, or, depending upon distribution, /usr/home/chris--the home directory is also frequently referred to with a tilde, such as ~ to represent /home/chris), so at any rate, you should have ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files and, on a 64 bit system ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86) So, it may be in there. If it is, you may be able to run it with wine <path_to_application> Note that with spaces in a name, it's easier to use tab completion--that is, type wine ~/.wine/driv (and hit the tab key, to let completion fill in the drive_c)/Prog (hit the tab key to let it fill in the backslash to escape the face in the file name, so it will look like wine ./wine/drive_c/Program\ Files and so on. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: I'm not worried.
