I would strongly suggest not to mix up Win/XP and Win7 applications while running Wine.

How to do a Windows 7 setup for Wine?
=========================

Follow the same steps as described on page 3 of this post.
At 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' choose Windows 7 and click Ok. From there on you follow the same steps.

How to swap from Wine Win/XP to Wine Windows 7 ?
================================

If you already have Wine installed on '/mnt/home/ wine' (f.e. sda1) rename the folder to wine-XP or wine_XP.
Now go to '/root' and delete the link '.wine'. Click on 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' and choose Windows 7.
Go to '/root' rename '.wine' to 'wine-Win7 or wine_Win7' and move it to '/mnt/home'.
At last step you provide a link from your '/mnt/home/ wine-Win7' folder to '/root' calling it '/root .wine'.

To revert everything just delete your .wine link and discard the .wine file being produced by your new 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' setup.
Now pick the folder you need from '/mnt/home ...' as your '/root .wine' link.

This one needs a 'Wine Windows 7' setup!

Yes, you are right - I had missed the Adobe Flash Player part. There we go now.

How to install the Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.182 for Wine version 1.7.16?
==============================================
1) start your Puppy Linux SeaMonkey/Firefox browser and download the Flash Player Installer for Windows from here:
--> http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/13.0.0.182/install_flash_player.exe File size: 17.1 MB
2) save this file to drive c: of your Wine installation
3) install your windows browser to Wine
4) click on the Flash Player Installer.exe to execute the install process
5) go to 'Menu->Utility->Wine Control Panel' - the Flash Player icon will tell you that the installation went well
6) start your Wine internet browser and check if Flash works on youtube
7) please don't forget to power off your PC to restart

How to check if your Flash Player works?
=========================
go right there and check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glfgb3vWP3g#aid=P8mLjI4ofhA


How to check what version is installed?
========================
check right here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

That's it.
Have fun!

If you run 'Wine' in 'frugal' mode you will have to do some manual changes.

In the folder '/mnt/home/wine/drive_c/users/root' you'll find 5 symlinked folders. These folders should be regular folders but not symlinks.

You will see 'Desktop', 'My Documents', 'My Music', 'My Pictures' and 'My Videos' as symlinks to /root. This will upset Puppy Linux and Wine. Therefore you have to delete the symlinks and create regular folders with the same names instead.

You can download from there: http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html

If You need an other language like: Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese

You can go there: http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html#aoo to download your 'Windows Intel EXE' file.

Guess you'd like to have some desktop icons to start your wine applications.
It's very easy to do:

- download and install your wine application
- look at /root/Desktop for your '.desktop' file and open it as text file
- change, if needed the 'Exec=env WINEPREFIX=' line so that it reads like this:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/root/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/OpenOffice4.1.0.lnk

- copy your '.lnk' file from /root/Desktop to: '/mnt/home/wine/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop' and rename it to 'OpenOffice4.1.0.lnk'

Rem: If you give 'SeaMonkeySetup2.26.1.exe' a try, you'll see that 'SeaMonkey.desktop' works 'out of the box'.
