Re: [ubuntu-uk] Running .exe's off a CD?

2010-05-06 Thread Chris Rowson
I didn't think virus.exe would have much effect on an Ubuntu PC, regardless of whether it was using Wine or not, but thanks for pointing that out anyway. :) I wouldn't be so sure ;-) If you think about it, if Wine can execute virus.exe, virus.exe can access/modify anything that Wine can.

Thanks for the ideas. Wine won't work. Says something about 7zip not handling full names or something when I click on setup.exe. Installed VirtualBox but no luck. The drive is NTFS formatted, so Windows should run on it. Before the Live CD started working but got to the loading screen and then
