makensis on wine: x11drv: : Can't open display:

Hi
When I try to run makensis under wine (redhat linux) I get the message:
x11drv: Can't open display:

Anyone here have any idea why? Or how to fix it?

Probably a misconfiguration, I suggest you to search for WINE support.

i think it is a problem with nsis, i thinkt hat that error means that makensis is trying to open a window of some kind, but fails because X is not running on my host's server. I can run other apps fine.

Other people have sucessfully runned NSIS 2.0 using WINE.

I fixed the problem. It was a problem with my configuration. Wine has to have the GraphicsMode property in the config file (/home/youruser/.wine/config) set to "ttydrv" if you do not have X on the computer.
