Wine and WMP

Playing around with Wine and Windows Media Player, two questions.

1. Do I need to install the .exe under the /.wine/fake_window directory? Right now I have the .exe under the /home dir

2. Running 3.4 Knoppix and how do I know which version of WMP works under Wine? This box is only running Linux, no Windows, so I don't know if Wine is trying to find certain .dll files or any other windows files to run it.

thanks

Why do you need WMP?

Linux can play those files.

Mplayer and xine will both play them if you get the w32codecs package. You can get it and mplayer if you add these to your sources.list file (under /etc/apt).

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

After you add those entries just become root and type
apt-get update
apt-get install w32codecs

After updating my apt-get sources files with


deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main


Keep getting malformed line with what I have added, are you sure this is correct?

thanks

You'll want to add all three.

Other then that I can't see why it isn't working.
