Irfanview wine LXDE
« on: May 12, 2010, 08:34:41 AM »
I've just installed wine, added mfc42.dll, and then irfanview in my LXDE installation.  Everything went as usual with KDE, BUT there are no icons on the desktop, and it isn't in the menus.  How do I run it?

Just realised that I've got it running OK, icons and all on my Dell netbook, but that has an older version of wine - 1.1.37-1 while the iBuddie with the problem has the latest version 1.1.42-1 (I think), could that be the problem?

How does one become a hero?  By asking a lot of dumb questions apparently! I have three computers of various ages, the most powerful is a Dell Netbook 10v; each has 2 or 3 versions of PCLOS of various vintages.  Location, St John's, Newfoundland.

I use Crossover myself but have never had any luck getting irf to install with it (still bombs with mfc42.dll). I just run it with plain Wine making a shortcut to the command
