--- Comment #3 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-10-09 19:05:42 --- Batch mode looks handy (see UI/README.TXT). It suffers from all the same problems, but if you just keep retrying, about one in ten runs it will say "Winbench starting!" and try to run tests. You have to edit RUNWS.INI first to pick what you want it to do. The commandline is $ wine WS32.EXE AUTO RUNWS.INI And you can edit RUNWS.INI to tell the app not to exit when done; this lets you play around with the GUI.
Neither via GUI nor via .ini file can I get it to actually run a benchmark. It just skips past it for some reason. It also says it creates results.txt, but I can't find it.
