    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 ...

    Can anyone help me getting this installed? has anyone seen similar
    problems when installing software under wine?

    Thanks for any help/pointers,
