Wine version I'm using is 1.4, and BWks performs at lightning speed and (surprise!) the toolbar icons are now visible. I haven't checked to see if the CHM problem is resolved. (Previous experience listed <a href="http://nerdlets.org/2008/08/18/run-bibleworks-7-with-wine-in-ubuntu-804/#IDComment43238463" rel="nofollow">above</a>.) I am very happy. :) Thank you!

I have been using a separate chm viewer for those files. The Bibleworks naming conventions make it easy to figure out which is which, though I still can't understand why they use chm files in the first place. Thanks for the guide.

There are still some problems with the chm files especially with links/popups. Maybe it's possible to use external chm viewers within wine.. I installed it on Arch Linux: wine-1.3.9

I can now run BW8 ok. However, it crashes whenever it wants to access the internet (eg for updates), telling me that Internet Explorer is not installed. So there are still problems with this approach - can anyone help?

If I try to install BW8 under Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 and wine the 'preparing to install' screen comes up but it then disappears and nothing else happens. I'm not sure if it's because I had to skip the fakeie6 step (since it doesn't exist anymore) or if there's another problem....

There are a lot of great options here. The only one that you need to worry about at the moment is fakeie6. Select it and let winetricks do its work. I don't have a fakeie6 option.

I don't have a fakeie6 option.
