Re: Program cannot be run in DOS mode

[Dustin Navea]

I dont think (although I could be wrong) that programs compiled in vs6 
would have dependencies on .net, even if they were compiled on xp..  You 
said that you are able to get other programs to run, such as winzip and 
solitaire?  If that is the case, then what I said above more than likely 
_is_ wrong :-/ in which case not much can be done.  You could always try 
your hand at implementing the missing .net functions, but this may be a 
bigger task than it is worth.  The other option if you must get it going 
on linux is to port it to linux using winelib, although if it is 
dependent on .net that may not be possible either..

Anyone else have any comments on this?

Yeah, I know enough of Linux to do that.  It just strikes me as weird 
that all of the executables I've downloaded (WinZip, etc) have produced 
no errors.  Someone suggested this might be due to .NET dependencies in 
the Windows XP binaries, but I might as well try a newer version of Wine.

Hi, that does seem a little strange.  It could be that there is 
something wrong with the package.  How familiar are you with Linux? 
Familiar enough to know what CVS is and how to use it to get the 
bleeding edge version of wine, and enough to know how to compile it 
from scratch, if I pointed you to the guide that tells you how?

The version I'm running is from an RPM on winehq.com (I'm running 
Fedora Core 2).  Also, I considered the .NET problem, so I compiled a 
little "Hello World" program in Visual Studio 6, which also produced 
this error.  I don't know if perhaps VS 6 has been made to 
encorporate .NET libraries, but I was really surprised to see that 
program not work.

Someone else suggested trying an NT-based winver, which I found not 
to help.
