6.71 Beta1

I have been running Newsbin betas pretty successfully under WineHQ Stable on Debian Jessie, however the latest release 6.71 Beta 1 fails to install as it detects Wine as Windows XP.

Can you advise if there is either a command line switch in the installer to bypass the check or what the installer is checking for so I can add it into Wine?

Stuart.

Just figured it out on my own, I used the latest version of Winetricks to configure Wine to report its version as Windows 7, Installer worked fine and Newsbin is running happily.

That's a good tip to know.
