After installing and configuring wine and after changing to the download folder where I downloaded iview427_setup.exe I tried to install Irfanview4
wine iview427_setup.exe but it won't install. Thinking it may be a wine issue I tried the same with Opera which installed without a hitch.

I did install the missing mfc42.dll into the system32 folder that is needed to run iview

Irfanview looks to be compatible based on the winehq website.

Am I doing something wrong here??

I did it as a test to see if I was doing something wrong.

No error messages.

After typing
wine iview427_setup.exe nothing happened except it went back to the prompt.

nothing!? wine is usually nice and verbose

what are you permissions like on iview427_setup.exe?

try executing it with absolute file referencing like :
wine /home/michael/Desktop/iview427_setup.exe

also please post your : wine --version

The file is executable.

wine /home/colyn/iview427_setup.exe does nothing.

Version is 1.2

I may delete the file and try downloading it from another source to see if it is a bad download..

good call on the redownload

also winecfg lets you change the version of windows it fools the program into thinking your running, since your redownloading anyway, try and get a windows XP version, they are usually better tested and supported (and then change to xp in winecfg)

It seens wine was in fact the problem. I decided to uninstall wine then reinstall it. Once done iview installed like it should..
