Go to and download the two .msi files (32-bit and 64-bit) corresponding to your version of Wine. 2. Step 2 normally needs to be done as root, e.g. using sudo. Copy these two .msi files into /usr/share/wine/gecko - you may first need to create the 'gecko' sub-folder. 3. Now start Agent and open the help file. It will take a few seconds, but the help screen will display the contents. "Wine-gecko" is Wine's replacement for the Internet Explorer HTML rendering engine built in to Windows. Among other things, it is needed to render CHM help file pages. -- Kind regards Ralph
