Hi

I'm a newbie on the forum but I know a thing or two about Wine.

Well, I've installed POL today and I've tried one of the many scripts available on it. When I tried installing Safari (latest version), everything went fine! BUT when you try to start Safari, it won't run!! So I've tried using Wine through terminal and Safari requires the following Dlls:

MSVCR80.dll
SafariTheme.dll
MSVCP80.dll
icuuc36.dll
icuin36.dll
CoreGraphics.dll
zlib1.dll
CoreFoundation.dll
libxml2.dll
WebKit.dll
pthreadVC2.dll
CFNetwork.dll
SQLite3.dll
pthreadVC2.dll
(If you install those dlls under system32 folder in Wine, everything runs OK)
Before you ask, I know how to solve this problems. What about the other users? The way I see it, POL assumes you already have those DLLs!!

It would be good if POL could include scripts to install DLLs. Maybe I could make a script like this.

I guess I've just made a HUGE mistake.

I've checked my POL installation and all these files are available under Safari's folder inside POL.

So, what's the problem?

Maybe it's the "Program files" folder. My language uses the portuguese version of "Program files" which is "Arquivos de Programas". Maybe that's the resolution.

The solution is simple!
I've just changed the script created by POL through as seen on this thread:
http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-1009-wrong_path_programs_cannot_start.html

Since my language uses "Arquivos de programas" as my program files folder, I've had to change the script from:

#!/bin/bash
export WINEPREFIX="/home/executiva/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Safari"
export WINEDEBUG="-all"
cd "/home/executiva/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Safari/drive_c/Program files/Safari/"
wine "Safari.exe" $@

TO

#!/bin/bash
export WINEPREFIX="/home/executiva/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Safari"
export WINEDEBUG="-all"
cd "/home/executiva/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Safari/drive_c/Arquivos de programas/Safari/"
wine "Safari.exe" $@

Anyway, it doesn't run smoothtly. Too many gliches on the top menu. And also, when I tried opening terra.com.br it crashes!
