[Techtalk] Visual FoxPro 9 using wine

[Linda de Boer]

G'day

I am trying to install Visual FoxPro 9 with wine. I have been following 
the instructions from "http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/wine/". I have had 
to slightly modify the paths used for the symlinks because the format of 
version 9 appears to differ from that of version 8. Basically an extra 
directory level called "mcrsftvs" exists in the root, then setup.exe 
etc. under that.

I can install other programs, ie; games, a few calculators and other 
utilities I downloaded form tucows for testing. However, when I run the 
setup for VFP9 I get the message:

	Visual FoxPro Setup

Setup was unable to copy the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
FoxPro 9\mcrsftvs to your temporary directory. Please make sure
that this file exists and rerun setup.

Has anyone seen this message before? Permissions issue maybe? I have 
checked it but could be missing something. Any suggestions are greatly 
appreciated. I need to get it running as soon as possible so a client 
can get off his ailing Novell. Hence the call for help....;-)

Hopefully helpful info below:

Possibly I have re-adjusted the symlinks incorrectly, but I have 
rehecked them:

ln -s ../../prg/Microsoft\ Visual\ FoxPro\ 9/mcrsftvs/msvcr70.dll 
msvcr70.dll
ln -s ../../prg/vfp9/program\ files/microsoft\ visual\ foxpro\ 
9/vfp9enu.dll  vfp9enu.dll
ln -s ../../prg/vfp9/program\ files/microsoft\ visual\ foxpro\ 
9/gdiplus.dll gdiplus.dll
ln -s ../../prg/Microsoft\ Visual\ FoxPro\ 9/mcrsftvs/program\ 
files/common\ files/microsoft\ shared/vfp/vfp9renu.dll vfp9renu.dll
ln -s ../../prg/Microsoft\ Visual\ FoxPro\ 9/mcrsftvs/program\ 
files/common\ files/microsoft\ shared/vfp/vfp9r.dll vfp9r.dll

My wine/config is:

WINE REGISTRY Version 2
