About IrfanView
IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.
It is trying to be simple for beginners and powerful for professionals.
IrfanView is trying to create new and/or interesting features in its own way, unlike some other graphic viewers, whose whole "creativity" is based on feature cloning, stealing of ideas and whole dialogs from ACDSee and/or IrfanView! (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 7+ years).
IrfanView was the first Windows graphic viewer WORLDWIDE with Multiple (animated) GIF support.
One of the first graphic viewers WORLDWIDE with Multipage TIF support.

Wine configuration
This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.
$ winecfg
Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtul desktop in the graphics tab if you wish.
Installing IrfanView
You will need a native MFC42.dll in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 before the install will work.
Download WineTricks and install the MFC42.dll that it provides, or install the dll from a Windows XP box.
tom@tom:~$ wine iview410_setup.exe
