OK.. Feels good and spent some time moving between vmware / system32 folder and Darwine. Was working with one app in particular [voipcheap]
copied over many dll's from windows - but thinking Directx is important given it is requires audio [voice processing]

I am using TRIX - which is excellent and take a lot of pain out of the process. Seems some links to install MS files fail - so was able to work around DL and install.

Question.. is there an order of operation for installing the various packages in TRIX?
i.e. dotnet needs HTML engine.

thx

Hello Mark,

Yes, one package can have a dependancy on another, and there is a rough install order..

A good example is Office 2007, see the new microsoft office 2007 install guide.

"Their is a install order of the third party packages that needs to be taken into account here. You will need to install vcrun2005sp1 first then core fonts then msxml then riched updates."

Many thanks Tom.

OK.. beating myself up on this now.. a few remove / restores.

Can you put me out of my misery [please].. and try to install voipcheap [www.voipcheap.com] and see if it will install with this build and run - and what dependencies is has..

It seems a UI issue but not sure.

thanks again.
Maj
