<pp4mnk> I have the portable registered version for use with windows
<pp4mnk> but I don't know how to use it into puppy
<pp4mnk> Can you help me??
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE
What exact version of Xenialpup?
What bit version??
Xenialpup 7.5 (32bit)
Xenialpup64 7.5 (64bit)
Need to get software that is for the specific bit version.
It may run in Wine.
Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications.
Only way to know is download and install a version of Wine.
Note:
Get Wine installed and setup.
Reboot so it gets saved in the Xenialpup save and is now part of the booted Xenialpup.
Install pdf anti-copy and see if it will run.
For Wine.
Make sure you have the latest version of Wine.
Good place to get Wine for Puppy.

Also, look on the first post of the Wine topic for a added 'wine_extras-v2.1.pet' that puts Wine entries in the menu.
When you get Wine installed and the Wine menu entries.
Run Wine config to setup Wine.
It will probably offer you a few more programs needed for Wine to run properly.
Should download and install them as part of the initial config.
Also, in Wine config->Drivers Select autodetect to get all the driver locations loaded in Wine.
A lot of settup options in Wine config, so check them all.
What version of Windows you want Wine to mimic can affect how a program runs. Wine Config->Applications.
About specific programs running in Wine.
Go to the Wine web site and see what it says about a specific program and issues.

Using Wine is almost like learning a new operating system.
Takes a while to learn how to use Wine and to get things working properly.
