--- Comment #4 from Jim Michaels jmichae3@yahoo.com 2012-08-01 03:08:08 CDT --- have you tried this yet on your machine? does installation of windows apps with an installer work perfectly on your box as far as creating a shortcut? or...? that's what this bug is about.
the machine I was on was a 32-bit box with 2GiB RAM if that makes any difference. I will try in the future to remember to state which linux version Iam using. right now, my test box won't have a dvd burner for another 2-4 months so I can install linux again. right now the machine has windows 8 on it.
my budget for hardware is on a waiting list right now.
