similar to: Question about Wine 1.2.2 and running uninstalled Windows programs

I read somewhere that in order for a program to work properly in Wine it should be installed in a clean enviroment, something along the lines of one software conflicting with anothers drivers/runtime/apps/etc. Is this true? Does this mean that I can only have one program installed with Wine at a time? Can one not create several 'fresh enviroments'?

Hello, I am having an issue. I can install and uninstall programs just fine using Wine, but when I uninstall programs, they still appear in the menu. Is there anyway to get rid of them? (They really get unslightly and they clog down my menu). Its not a huge problem, it doens't effect anything but how things look, but i would still really like to get rid of them. Any ideas?

Okay I will admit that I am a Noob at using wine. I have used it once for uTorrent via creating a launcher and creating a file path for wine to follow and it worked...but I would like to know if I could just open up wine and then drop in an .exe file to run? I need help....seriously!

Hi, Can anybody points me to a *complete* doc explaining how to emule a DOS progs ? When i want to run a DOS prog, wine tells me 'winedos.dll.so Cannot find symbol MZ_Thread' or something like this" Thanks. -- Aurélien

from the website intro page: Wine's main task is to run Windows executables under non Windows operating systems. It supports different types of executables: DOS executable. Those are even older programs, using the DOS format (either .com or .exe (the later being also called MZ)). Tried it: fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform in thread Execution DOS

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 need some help from the WineHQ members. I have a DOS application that works under Window XP on a desktop computer and would like the same DOS application to run flawlessly under Wine. The application loads fine but some buttons and text are missing. So I have to guess where I type the serial number and licence code. It seems to install fine but when you double click on the desktop icon nothing

I installed World of Wisdom Birth Chart Interpreter 2 on my wife's laptop without any problems. Then her laptop was stolen so I had to reinstall. The re-installation did not put a start-up icon on her desktop, so she has to navigate to ?Browse C/ Drive? and click on the .exe icon to run it. She is running Ubuntu 7.10. I tried the same program on my Ubuntu 8.04 with the same results. Is

Hi there, I was just wondering how I would go about creating a bash script for Steam apps. I just started college in Pre-Biochem. and Pre-Comp. Sci. so I'm not far enough in yet (and midterms are coming up, how embarrassing) but the point is, I don't know how to create a bash script for steam apps. I know they start up steam first, then log in, and then get into the game. I'm not

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

Hi! In Centos 5, when I add a launcher to the desktop, it doesn't allow me to choose an icon for the launcher. After creating it, right-click/properties also has no way to choose an icon. It seems to assign one itself, and the one i get looks like a small terminal window, or something. How can I pick the icon for a desktop launcher myself? My old Centos 4.5 installation allowed me to pick

I should probably admit I am new to linux. well that's not entirely true but the last time I messed with it there was no gui. anyway I dicided to give ubuntu a try, crashed my system in the process. anyway the problum I am having is this. programs install just fine, and I've tried installing in several different ways. just running the .exe file, going through play on linux, wine tricks.

Hey, Im new to wine and ubuntu and just downloaded wine (1.2.2-0ubuntu6). Im trying to install "the sims 3" (a game for windows/macOS). Here is what I do, and what happends: 1: I insert the CD. 2: I go to "my computer" 3: I click on the sims3 file or whatever it is. 4: "The SIMS(tm) 3 install.app"-folder shows up. 5: I right-click on it, and click "open with

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.
