Good Luck I do not have a file SHARE.EXE, but .. I found a way to make it works ;-)) I changed the permissions for the "/var/lib/wine" the "/var/lib/wine/windows", the "/var/lib/wine/windows/Fonts" and the "/var/lib/wine/windows/system" directories. They were "drwxr-xr-x" and I changed them to "drwxrwxrwx" Now everything works like a charm ;-) Hope this help someone else. Francois

Francois Just a guess, i don't know too much about this problem. But try finding the file as root and then changing it ownership/access priveleges to include the user you need to use it. -Paul R _ Do You Yahoo!?

I did that already, but nope, it doesn't work. All files belong to user "fm", group "users", The permissions are 555 for all files, except the ini files which are 755. But user "fm", can't run the program. It complains about the install of "share". For "root", it works like a charm ;-( Francois

Francois = Try changing the permissions on the executable so that users can execute. Right click on the program, go to properties and check all of the appropriate boxes.

Hi, I have a problem when I want to run a windows program. I do not have any windows HD on my system, but I have a windows program I need to run. I have no problem to run it as "root", but as a simple user, it doesn't want to run. Each time I have a message saying something like that : "You must install the program SHARE.EXE before starting those programs. To install the program SHARE.EXE, you have to read the documentation related to the DOS Operating System." As "root", I do not have such a message and the program runs fine. How can I do to make it run for someone else than "root" ? Thanks. Francois
