I did not use this method, which is much too complicated... Just use wine-1.1.37 on an Ubuntu 9.10 (and on a 8.04) and run : env WINEPREFIX="/home/patrice/.wine_Test" wine picasa36-setup.exe This will create a separate wine environment and install Picasa on this environment. This avoid interaction with other windows programs. The shortcut created on the Desktop has the environment variables correctly set. Picasa runs fairly well in this configuration, face recognition is OK, network connection to Picasa Album and Google Contacts is correct. (the "Manage Adress book" function does not work, I think this is due to the lack of "real" IE in this configuration) I did not check the move of data from windows to Linux, because all my photos are already on Linux. > > > I don't want to waste my time if others are having no luck!
