| 1402277 | 2015-06-09 02:59:00 | I am trying to see if my Cashbook for Windows will run in Puppy Linux. I installed WINE, I then installed the Cashbook, during which NET framework was also installed. WINE is not in the Start Menu. Problem is that the Cashbook won't run! I couldn't find WINE anywhere so I tried to re-install it, only to be told that it was already installed! Could some Linux boffin answer the following questions:- 1] What folder would WINE be in? 2] What folder would .NET be in? 3] How do I un-install a Windows program? (Package manager only does Linux programs) I used to know how to set up WINE with DOS/Windows programs but have forgotten :help: |

| 1402280 | 2015-06-09 03:59:00 | Install PlayOnLinux, it'll fine Wine and give you a gui to make installation of Wine programs etc simpler :) | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1402281 | 2015-06-09 06:11:00 | Install PlayOnLinux, it'll fine Wine and give you a gui to make installation of Wine programs etc simpler :) Sounds good but when I select it I get the message "PlayOnLinux is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry" I presume that root=administrator. What to do? |

| 1402282 | 2015-06-09 06:34:00 | Either run it as a non-root user, or there are a few tutorials floating around to modifying POL to run as root. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1402283 | 2015-06-09 08:36:00 | I give up! Puppy does not support non root users, other than two dogs, Spotty & Fido!!!!! Neither work. I may try Ubuntu, I had it before and ran a lot of Windows programs on it. |

| 1402285 | 2015-06-10 08:49:00 | 1. ~/.wine (your home directory and its hidden) 2. Somewhere found in the above, takes on a similar structure to how it'd be in windows. 3. Through WINE or through the programs own uninstaller. Can you provide more info on the cashbook? Can it be downloaded so I could test it. Have you looked at alternatives you could try on Linux?
