wine_DEV-2.11_v3.1.pet ____ tahrpup 6.0.5 PAE
wine_DEV-2.11_v3.2.pet ____ tahrpup 6.0.5 PAE
On the other hand, if I can avoid getting into an endless uninstall loop because of dependencies I would certainly prefer that.
If you do not intend to submit bug reports to winehq.org, then wine-2.11_v3.1.pet should be sufficient.

Thanks version. Will it be necessary to uninstall 2.01 before installing 2.11?

I have read that some users install newer versions of wine without uninstalling the older versions.
I always uninstall old before installing new.

And do you run into a long string of files that are dependent and also need to be uninstalled?

Also, should it be uninstalled via the PPM?

I do not recall getting a long string of dependencies, but I do not generally use 64 bit Tahr.
When uninstalling, I recommend PPM [1] for that task.
For built-in packages, things that are not in the PPM 'Uninstall' list, I use:
Menu > Setup > Remove builtin packages
Could you copy and paste a list of the first set of dependencies that PPM is asking about?

I am unfamiliar with Full installs.
I only use frugal installs, therefore all my comments are geared toward frugal installs.

Uninstalled 2.01 and Extras without issue, reinstalled 3.1 and extras. Still no wine functionality. I downloaded setup file for a simple windows app which I used previously with Wine and am unable to install now.

Just for the halibut I rebooted and Wine came to life, went looking for Mono and Gecko. Windows app installed with ease. I think we have liftoff.
Thanks for your patience and advice.

I suppose I'll need winetricks. Is there an off-PPM version I should look for?

The wine packages I compile have winetricks.
It is one file that gets installed to /usr/sbin/
I use:

Thanks version. I had just realized that tricks was built into this wine. I hope I'll never have need of most of the commands. However, are the windows fonts also installed with wine?
Is it advisable to self-update?

It appears some are.

I have installed various fonts using winetricks in troubleshooting attempts at getting various windows apps running.

On an unrelated matter. How do you suspend puppy on a desktop. On a laptop closing the cover apparently does it. Or does this just turn off the screen?

We the users of this forum are the only ones that can help to keep some order to it.
Please help!!
Please post a new question, as a new topic, in the Beginners section of the forum.
Multiple questions in a topic make it hard to follow.
Note:
If you are using a save folder than you have a frugal install of Tahrpup.
That is the best way to install Puppy Linux.
In the future ask questions or post problems in the Beginners or Users sections of the forum.
This section of the forum (Additional Software) is the place to actually post programs you compiled for Puppy.
Here is a good search site to use:

Try that again.

You do have the Tahrpup 32bit_compatibility_libs_tahr64.sfs package loaded in SFS-load on-the-fly?
If you do not have it download from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... es-tahr64/
32bit_compatibility_libs_tahr64.sfs needs to be located in /mnt/home
Run menu->Setup->SFS-load on-the-fly to load it.
With that loaded Wine config should work.
I am not running Tahrpup64 right now, but it is running for me
in Xenialpup64 7.0.8.5 (A 64bit Puppy.) with it's 32bit compatibility sfs loaded.

Thanks Bigdog, the first thing I did with the fresh Tahrpup was install 32-bit compatibility. However, I don't think the installation was complete, or so the list of skipped files would suggest. Why do you suppose files are being skipped?
I encountered the same issue when installing a new Audacity (audio processing lab).
Much obliged for your assistance, as always.
