Installing Yahoo Messenger 6.0 under wine
Hello All,
I have been experimenting with Wine and it has been a pretty smooth road
till I planned to install Yahoo Messenger 6.0 in Wine. It was written on
the winhq.com database that YM6.0 was able to run under wine. My Wine
installation is an independent one, i.e. it does not use the actual
Windows partition I already have. I got the yahoo messenger installer
file ymsgrie.exe for yahoo 6.0 by copying it off my Windows partition
Yahoo Messenger installation. When I try to start the installation, wine
gives the following error(or warnings?), and stops:
~$ wine Desktop/ymsgrie.exe
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin Desktop/ymsgrie.exe ...
