Ubuntu :: Installation Of Exe Files With Wine?
Jul 10, 2010I downloaded the new Notepad++ version 5.7 from the regular Sourceforge website and wanted to install it with Wine (Wine 1.2). So far, I always just doubleclicked on it and ran a normal Windows installation process directly in Ubuntu (10.4). however, now I get this crap:
The file '/home/XYZ/Desktop/npp.5.7.Installer.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Ubuntu :: .exe Files Won't Work In Wine?
Dec 28, 2010I've been having problems trying to run my .exe files and windows programs through wine. I first had the error message about it being an executable file, but I fixed that with right clicking and allowing it. Though the program is still not coming up, does anyone know which direction I go now to fix it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Automatically Allow .exe Files To Be Run By Wine?
Jul 4, 2011I've been using Wine to run some Windows applications (GraphicsGale, Angelcode Bitmap Font Generator, etc.) but it's a bit annoying to have Ubuntu always tell me that .EXE files are not executable, and a bit nonsensical since, by definition, they are.
Right now, every time I download an installer .EXE I have to first manually set the executable flag in the file's properties. This is a bit annoying. Is there some way I can set Ubuntu to automatically register .exe files as executables?
Ubuntu :: Using Wine To Run .ISO Files In Xubuntu / Error?
Sep 24, 2010I'm trying to install Fallout 1 by Interplay. I have the .ISO of the game.
I've mounted it to a directory I created (/home/temp), using Gmount
But, when I use the GUI, and right click on the "install.exe" and choose Open With Wine. It just opens a terminal, than promptly closes it.
So, I tried to run it in a terminal. I went to the directory where the ISO is mounted, and used the command
wine install.exe
and it gives me:
err:dosmemOSMEM_MapDosLayout Need full access to the first megabyte for DOS mode
Also, when I mount the .ISO using Gmount, I get the error;
An error occured
Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
I can also open the autorun.exe using wine. But when I click the install button in the autorun menu, it says I have to install DirectX. When I click yes, it gives me the generic windows crash.
"The program your using has encountered a problem and needs to close. yada yada yada."
Choosing 'no' when prompted to install DirectX, just gives me a blank screen, with no response.
Push ESC three times, and my desktop appears again, and everything is responding.

General :: Wine Installation To Run Executable Files?
May 11, 2011I recently got the information that Windows software do not run in Linux as such. In order to run these software (Running the software also includes installing the software by running the set-up executable file) I need to install 'wine' on my system and then run the set-up files from within this 'wine'. I therefore wish to install 'wine' on my system in order to run the corresponding Windows set-up files (which are executable files). I am running Linux Mint version 10 on my system.

Fedora :: About .run Files And Installing Windoze Software Under WINE?
Aug 21, 2010How can I install software that comes as a .run file in a way that it is accessible at the command line and under the applications menu or the equivalent? I am aware that root privileges are required and know how to get them. The publisher of the software does not publish .rpm files.
The distribution I am using now, which will remain nameless other than it is not Fedora, is very secure, but nobody seems willing or able to tell me how to do this. There is an old version of the software for my distribution available, but it is three releases and likely a couple of years old. I looked around the file system, found the executable, but it was a small file that probably calls the real executable under another name.
The software in question is a electronic circuit capture and printed circuit board design program. I have numerous projects and a library I need access to.As for installing the Windoze (Quattro Pro) software, I couldn't get it to install at all, even with root privileges. (WINE complained I didn't have root privileges when I invoked it at the # prompt. I couldn't determine how to install the software on anything other than XP. ) I wasn't and remain uninterested in debugging multimegabyte spreadsheets a second time
General :: Wine On Slackware 64-bit - Run A Windows Program (with Multilib Files)
Jul 19, 2011I know the subject title makes it seem like this should be something on the Slackware forums but I think it can be generalized to other 64-bit Linux operating systems which is why I ask here. I'm running Slackware 13.37 64-bit and was wondering if I use Wine to run a Windows program (with multilib files), would it still run as if it had been used on a 64-bit computer?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Why Does Root Own All Files
Jun 14, 2010I was trying to extract a tar file to my home directory. The operation failed because I didn't have permission! I did an ls -Al and discovered that all my folders and files are owned by root, and the group is plugdev.
I am a member of the plugdev group, and (ducking for cover) a member of the root group. Nevertheless, I seem not to have the necessary permissions on various folders and groups. I even went so far as to sudo chown individual files, directories, and directory trees. Using the -v switch, chown reports changing all the files. But, entering ls -Al, shows nothing was actually changed. I don't see in the new release notes that this is a new behaviour. On the other hand, I often miss the obvious.
