here: Wine Application DB - Viewing App- MSN Messenger Service Version - 8.0 (Windows Messenger Live)
it seems like they say it doesn't work yet in wine.

how about aMSN? its a open source mirror of MSN.

I guess that would be sufficient... What kind of programs can Wine run, then?

[savagenator]

Wine is supposed to run anything windows. The open source wine, the one you are probably using, does not support nearly as many programs as cedega ($5/month) or crossover linux (expensive).

[WorldIndustries]

I see... I suppose I could acquire one of those.

Some apps don't work in WINE yet, but if you're having drive problems you can check in wineconfig (/usr/bin/winecfg or something like that) to set up drives. I dual-boot Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) on 3 of my computers, and I usually just mount my Windows drive as /media/windows and configure it as C: or D: in WINE. Then I can run my Windows apps straight off of my real Windows drive, and if it's NTFS you should use a read/write NTFS driver.

Find the DLL it's complaining about on the internet and put it into the directory where you are launching the EXE.


I gave up on WINE after I realized that I don't actually need it.
