Doh123, how is running a program off an NTFS partition asking for trouble? Ntfsprogs seems to handle it just fine. I know that NTFS doesn't let you mark a file as executable, and that the filesystem is susceptible to fragmentation, but you should just be able to tell it to run rather than display and be good. It shouldn't cause destruction. I think there might even be an NTFS defrag tool

I'm having problems running a batch script that executes a combination of 32 and 16 bit exe's. The 32 bit programs run fine. When the 16-bit exe executes, wine finds dosbox and dosbox executes the program fine. However that 16 bit program creates a file which then needs to be used in the following part of the script. There's no sign of that file after dosbox exits and wine continues

I haven't followed Wine in quite a while, other than to do an occasional update (but hopefully this will change). I noticed DOSBox support was added in January 2011. My understanding is that when Wine can't even attempt to run DOS programs itself (MAC OSX, 64bit OSes, etc) that it will attempt to run using DOSBox. Is this correct? Is the plan to replace native Wine DOS support across the

The install is an .exe which must be run in windows, but the actual program requires DOS support. Should I install a windows version of dosbox in wine and then run dosbox in wine and have my windows dosbox run the .exe? And yes, Linux dosbox cant run it.

Thanks for working on it regardless, all these compiling issues are beyond most of us. Everything is "easy" or "manageable" to fix as long as you know how! I don't know if it's available via Macports, but I imagine Darwine is rather tweaked for the Mac beyond merely being a straight port, I don't know if Macports would throw up similar compiler issues. I received

I installed the latest version of wine in ubuntu gutsy from wine repository (wine version 0.9.54) and when i try to install warcraft II from cd rom i get this error: Warning: unprotecting memory to allow real-mode calls. NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught. and nothing works. I have an acer travelmate 2350... Thank you, Federico :D

I have been trying to get the Personal Information Manager Sidekick to run on Wine and Crossover. Our company is trying to move over to ubuntu(still fairly new) and after two weeks of searching i have yet to find a contact manager with the functionality and flexibility of sidekick so we are trying to get it working in Ubuntu. The program runs fine but then instantly crashes when i attempt to

It is probably not strictly related to SAMBA itself but let me try to ask you for advice. Using smbmount I have mounted one of smb/cifs share to /root/test. This share has RW access and no authentication is required. Now, under DOSBox, whenever I try to mount /root/test I get this error (command sent under DOSBox: mount c /root/test). Directory /root/test doesn't exist. Any other directories,

I am curious how come Wine has no direct support for DOS but has support for Windows 2,3 & 95 (which required DOS for their installation). I think of Wine as an utility to run legacy software and DOS compromises a big chunk of it. I know I can use Dosbox but it would be better for the end user if one program could run in linux all software made for m$. As a bonus, Dosbox also is open source,

Hi, I'm running wine-1.0.1, OpenBUGS 3.0.3, R 2.9.0, and R2WinBUGS on a Redhat Enterprise Linux machine. Following various peoples' suggestions... This works perfectly (yay!): wine Z:/opt/OpenBUGS/winbugs.exe Within R, however, I get this: (setup the example from ?bugs, then....)

Hi, i want to reorg my directories and move (and rename) some .wine folder to /opt. After moving and renaming the .wine folder some applications don't start again. A least, i found some .lnk files in c:\... with absolute user and folder names inside. I dont know if i misunderstand something or if something is misconfigured in my wine but until now i think that the C:\ / Z:\ devices are the

Hello, First of all, I'd like to point out that I am a newbie in this topic and this is more of a "would it work?" kind of question. I basically just came up with a difficult problem and decided to research on it. I recently tried to run Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall on an ARM netbook Toshiba AC100 and failed even after turning on the latest patches for "dynamic

Hey guys, i know this post is old, but i'm also having the same problem. I'm trying to compile MASM 6.1.5 programs in wine, and using ml.exe compiles and links everything perfectly and outputs a .exe file with no complaints. Then, when i try and run the program it give me an error like Code: fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform winevdm:

Hello all, first of all congratulation to all the wine stuff for the great job. I was trying to run some old 16 bit executables using wine (darwine) for mac, but from what i understand darwine is still not able to execute those exe. On Linux, doing wine TASM.EXE works fine, under mac, typing the same command (but using darwine) i get fixme:module:wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not

Regarding WINE support for DOS apps: Is there some fundamental reason why WINE could not be made to support old DOS apps (like Warcraft), or is it just a matter of missing libraries and such? In other words, is there a reason why DosBox, etc. are full hardware emulators, or why full DOS library support in WINE still wouldn't be enough? Thanks, -- Joel Parker

I have a new EeePC from ASUS with Xandros version of linux installed. I have installed wine, and believe that the installation works for at least some windows programs. Looking in the windows\system32 directory I see notepad and progman, both of which run and look reasonable. What I really want to do is to run a command window, i.e. cmd.exe. Even though it is there, when I attempt to execute

I just bought Legend of Grimrock and I can't get it to run in wine on my Arch Linux 64 bit machine. Several users have reported getting it to work under wine in Kubuntu and on Mac with wine. When I try to run it I get the following error Code: [af at andre ~]$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/af/.local/share/wineprefixes/log" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix

OK, I'm a noob to Wine. I've figured some stuff out with Wine and it sees everything I want it to see just fine. OK, I understand why you don't want Wine to see your windows install, but I put all my program installs on a separate partition. Now with this in mind can I just have Wine look at my Program Files and run my apps from there, or do I have to reinstall all the apps I want

Dear R-Experts, a student of mine tries to use the Windows-Rconsole with screen reading software (she is blind), and cannot access the command line (Menus are ok). The company which produces her screen reader tells her that this is due to the cursor used in Rconsole, which is static, not blinking. They maintain that if the cursor could be changed to a blinking one, she should be able to access
