--- Comment #3 from Harry C. Croon h.c.croon@hccnet.nl --- Bruno, thanks for your reply. 1. Yes, I pressed Apply each time after choosing a Windows version. 2. I don't understand your second point at this moment. I will study on that. Before trying to install xperiacompanion.exe I renewed Wine by removing the old installation following the instruction at the Wine HQ site and installed a the last stable version of Wine.
When your second point holds it is not user friendly of Wine that there are hidden configurations which overrule the choice.
