Wine not opening.exe files Heya, I just installed wine onto Hardy and I have wine tricks and all that but when i try opening a exe files by double clicking it or using terminal it just doesnt open. I am trying to install macromedia studio 8, ive tried creative suite (it worked when I used to use ubuntu a few months ago but not now) and photoshop cs2. The following comes up in terminal maitland@$ wine install studio 8.exe wine: could not load L C:\windows\system32\install.exe : Module not found But sometimes it doesnt come up with an error but still nothing happens. and there have been other times where it says something about windows installer. Anyone have any idea? I'm not very experienced with Wine Thanks! Re: Wine not opening.exe files Tomanderland, in the terminal try: Code: wine full_name_of_the_exe_file I'm not sure of the exact name of your exe file. Include the inverted commas to avoid confusion over the spaces. Cheers, Pat. Re: Wine not opening.exe files Try right-clicking on it and seeing what the default open with is, it might be mono or it might be nothing at all but you can select open with and choose wine. Re: Wine not opening.exe files did you try to configure wine? There is a tool in your menu called configure wine, it might help. Re: Wine not opening.exe files Thanks for everyone's help Pat, I tried that it came up with this, still no result. Code: maitland@$ wine install studio 8.exe wine: could not load L D:\install studio 8.exe : Module not found Also, the right click menu opens with wine windows emulator, clicked it nothing happened and I havent been able to find anything in the config thing that might help. Am i missing a wine file or something? Tom Re: Wine not opening.exe files Originally Posted by Tomanderland Heya, maitland@$ wine install.
Introduction Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux. Its homepage can be found at Wine HQ.org. If you are running the latest release of Wine which is v1.6, you can get further assistance on the winehq IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. First, please consider if you really need to run the specific Windows program because in most cases, its equivalent can be provided by an Open Source program. Also, consider using Qemu instead of Wine if you need a complete Windows installation. Installing Wine Ubuntu versions of Wine ( Recommended) open the software center Type wine and install 'wine' Newer versions of Wine ( Not Recommended) If you are using 9.10 ( Karmic) or 10.04 ( Lucid the Ubuntu Wine PPA provides the newest development versions of Wine. Add the following to Software Sources: Note, however, that these are development packages (ie beta software and may suffer from regressions and other problems not present in the stable version of Wine included with Ubuntu 10.04. You should avoid using them unless the current stable version of Wine does not support or is incompatible with the application you wish to use. If you are using an older version of Wine and want support from Wine HQ, you will need to upgrade to the latest development version first. If you do this, however, please file associated Wine bugs at winehq's Bugzilla Page rather than in Launchpad. Initial Setup Before using Wine, it is necessary to create the fake C: drive where your Windows applications will be installed. To do this, enter the following command into the terminal: You may find the terminal by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal winecfg You also have the option of configuring Wine via the Configure Wine option in the Applications-> Wine menu. This will create a hidden folder (.wine) in your home directory containing the fake C: drive as well as registry files similar to those.
