you probably need to create that registry entry.. i presume you installed pagemaker in windows somewhere, and are now trying to run that already installed installation? if thats the case, then you haven't installed the relevant registry keys (into wine's registry) as the pagemaker installation program does. if you are *really* lucky, you can run the pagemaker install program under wine, and just set it up again. all will be well. if the installer is the standard windows setup.exe, this won't work - since that uses some funky COM stuff which wine can't cope with yet :( in that case, the best bet might be to export a windows registry somewhere (you get a text file from that, don't you?), and install pagemaker on that windows machine. then dump the registry again and compare. you will need to duplicate these registry changes in wine, using "regapi setValue". feel free to ask for more info if you have to go this route. having just checked "the wine application database" for pagemaker (see http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=329&versionId=483) people seem to have had it working fine using windows dlls, and successfully (but not great) using builtin wine dlls. apparently the pagemaker installer is similar (ie it actually works under wine). you might want to have a read of those people's experiences and then try running the pagemaker installer and properly installing it into wine. (having windows dlls available sounds like a plus in this case) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
