Hi Peter
You might try 'PlayonLinux' which although mostly a games installer,
uses Wine and installs to a virtual disc. I've found that worked for me
with a windows program that didn't want to install correctly directly
under Wine.
It should be in the Ubuntu synaptics repos, though mine was found in the
Mint 13 software installer (cos thats built on the Ubuntu base).
Under the File>Install item there is a list of all the apps and games
etc that PlayonLinux can install but there is a small link under the
list box that allow unlisted software to be installed. Hope this is
useful and helps.

Hi, I have just installed wine 1.4.1 onto my Kubuntu system 12.10 and
then installed my genealogy program in wine, and it has a problem. I
can start Brothers keeper, and navigate around the menus and the data,
but the moment I edit some data, it hangs, I cannot leave that screen,
and I cannot close the program. I have to kill it from the terminal. I
notice that BK is using 74% of the cpu and wine another 44%.
To test it I then installed Irfanview under wine and that works fine.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks,
Peter
