Hey. I got it working. I was running the wrong
executable. I copied the dlls in the ECCO folder to
the Windows/System folder (I'm not sure if this is a
necessary step or not). I then ran: wine ecco32.exe
and it worked fine. Read the message below to know
what version I'm using (also, I'm using just the
native dlls, so if you use winesetup to look at the
DLLs section, all my dlls are: "builtin, native").
Cheers...

>> I installed the 20040615 version of wine and
wine-utils. I tried the installation again. This
time, even though it gave me the same errors as before
(about a deadlock) and seemed to freeze on the screen
"Looking for installed components", I left it running.
After about 20-30 minutes, it finally moved on and
successfully installed. Unfortunately, that's as far
as it goes. wine eccotool.exe exits with a 255 error
code.

>> PS. I'm using the builtin dlls. I'm think of
trying to run it using the Windows 98 dll.s

>>>> The Ecco installer is somewhat behind the times,
even running under regular Windows, which is a shame
because the actual application is rock solid. My
guess is that if you just copy the application files
over from someone's Ecco installation directory,
things will run just fine. Ecco does use one or two
files in the Windows directory, but I know that at
least one of those gets auto-created if it doesn't
already exist.

>>>> The nice thing about a Windows 95 application
like Ecco is that Wine should be able to handle it
pretty easily. I have never tried it myself but would
be interested in the results. Email me if you'd like
me to send you a zipped archive of the program directory.
