Wine is really getting good now.

This is with wine 0.9.61:

It is the vista ultimate upgrade disc, setup started by simply double-clicking the setup.exe on the vista disc :lolflag:

I just wanted to try this out of curiousity, I am not going to install that junk to my hard drive, but wine is currently set to xp. Vista's "upgrade procedure" consists of installing itself completely besides xp, then removing the latter. Would it really think that I am running xp and install itself from within ubuntu, doing a clean install with the upgrade disc :lolflag: :confused:

Go to winecfg (I think it's in the Wine menu in applications) and disable the Z: drive. Then run the Vista installer and see what happens. :popcorn:

(It will probably crash very early on.)

whats so hard to believe? Its a simple menu showing up, if the install process does anything is another question.

I am going to try the installation now, but running windows easy transfer runs great if you select it from the menu:

Installation starts okay, but exits right away with error: "the computer doesn't have enough free space available for temporary files. Setup needs at least 393 MB of free space on a partition. Free drive space and restart the installation if you want to install windows.

Error: 0x80004005"

How do I solve this?

You can't really install Windows on Wine because that's not what it was meant to do. It lacks the components for running an operating system. Use VirtualBox or VMWare if you need to run Windows on Linux.

I am not going to infect my harddisk, I just want to see if I can get to the confirm screen :lolflag:

Wine does rock. I use to pay for cedega to play WoW. Now I just use Wine and to be honest I can not tell difference between playing on windows and playing with wine.
