That was an example I'm afraid you took too literally.

Can you please clarify what exactly you are expecting wine to do in the first place ?

So have you made these programs you want to run (or at least try to) available to wine on the Solaris filesystem ?

no i ended up with this os because i got a virus on my system and wiped out my windos os and i was advised that open solaris runs on my system so i installed it but its to complicated for me to use so i came across wine that lets you run windows progams on solaris and would make i easy for me to use insted of learning all the code i have to type in to the terminal just to get things to install and run can you help me plz?

If you wiped out your windows applications, how would you think Wine can run them ?
