Just trying to setup an application to run educational material from a CD

the software is  /SkillSoft Course Manager (SCM)

I searched the internet for a solution but did not find anything useful.

I presume you have run wineconfig. change to the directory. Presuming
it's a cd, that will be something like /media/cdrom, or /mnt/cdrom.

As a general rule, people like to see the full initial errors (Not all
that endless crap that follows them), and expect you to do basic
research on the website.

For what? That's unusual if it stops there.

Am I right to say those things need Java? That's a bummer currently. I
can install java-1.5.0_09 as long as I use the  win2k or later setting,
but it doesn't land in the registry, or work. Others can install
java-1.4.2 in earlier versions. Nobody is happy with java, however.

Right, let's have some details on the java that's working fine: The
(windows)java version, which windows setting, your video card, and
special hacks. Java-1.4.2.exe crashes reliably here for me in linux, and
in windows 98!

Okay. In your honour, I set up as you said, rooted out the cd with
Java-1.4.2 on it, and set to work. I got this on the install

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address
0x80d5446 (thread 0033), starting debugger...

Wine version is 0.9.32-1 the Fedora RPM. CPU is amd athlon-xp, and video
card is the nvidia mx-440. The box does everything else fine. I've had
the same on 0.9.28 up to the prewsent version. It did not screw up the
screen - just the fonts looked weird. It loaded
"UltraUltraUltraBoldMicroscopic"

In wine, it throws an error "Bad installation: no JRE configuration
file" or somesuch. It will no appear as installed to the installer, and
uninstalled to the world at large, especially windows apps. The cure to
that is rm -rf ~/.wine, but I'm using it right now.
