How to install MS Java

  • First, you may want to move your old Wine directory for safekeeping and to make sure the right files are created by wine in the ~/.wine directory:
  • $ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old
  • Next, copy advpack.dll from a Windows 98 or Windows 95 system to the Wine system32 directory and run winecfg:

  • $ cd /media/disk/WINDOWS/
    $ cp advpack.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
    $ wine winecfg
    
  • Make a note of what version of Windows you have selected in the "Windows" drop-down box in the "Applications" tab.
  • Select "Windows 98" from the "Windows" drop-down box in the "Applications" tab.
  • Select the "Libraries" tab in winecfg and type "advpack" in the "Now override for library:" input box and click "Add".
  • Click "OK" to close winecfg and save your changes.
  • Then install msjava:
  • $ wine msjavax86.exe
  • Finally, run winecfg once more and restore the original value you made a note of earlier in the "Windows" drop-down box in the "Applications" tab.
