You should be able to follow exactly: copy/move picasa39-setup.exe to your <home> direcory open an xterm window in your <home> and run as <user>: mv ~/.wine ~/.wineXX env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks ie3 env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine ./picasa39-setup.exe and, if no major problems, try it out. warning: picasa will scan your entire box. Either kill it or limit the scan. If you have no problems, ie: picasa works, try to upgrade your present picasa w/o loosing your working old system or working new system, do: open an xterm window in your <home> and run as <user>: mv ~/.wine ~/.wineXXnew cp ~/.wineXX ~/.wine env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine ./picasa39-setup.exe If you experience problems/errors and want your original system back: open an xterm window in your <home> and run as <user>: rm -rf ~/.wine mv ~/.wineXX ~/.wine or Seeing no major errors, try it out. If picasa works and you are satisfied with the setting, you can remove the extra ~/.wine{XX,XXnew} directories: open an xterm window in your <home> and run as <user>: rm -rf ~/.wineXX ~/.wineXXnew > Should I uninstall wine (1.4-0ubuntu4.1) completely or merely some or all > of the underlying directories (dosdevices and drive_c, respectively) ?

No, DO NOT uninstall wine or .... The instructions I provided above *should* save your present system as is and allow testing a *new* installation and, if that works, an upgrade of your present system. And still allow you to return to what you started with before today in case something is not as you want or doesn't work. disclaimer: I worked for me as tested and presented. But you *must* follow the instructions, do not deviate. I am watching US-NFL Playoffs but will watch this list if you need help. If you see problems, stop and ask. We want to be sure that you can recover your setup. gud luk, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
