similar to: Dosbox integration problem

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

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,

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

Hi, in order to complete an installation, I need to change the "target" property as you would see in windows. I tried opening explorer.exe and changing it through there, but there is no option to. Is there any way I can change this? To start playing WarcraftII, I have to open multiple files from different directories at once. Since I can't edit the target properties through wine or

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.

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,

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

I have an old money management Windows98 program installed under Wine, which works well. On opening, the program automatically opens the data file last used in the previous run. On the first instance of run from boot, the program runs correctly, but if it is closed and later re-opened without re-booting the computer, it cannot access its data file because it says it is already in use. I notice

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

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

Hello, Is there a version of R running on Android? I wonder R Project ported to Android. If this isn't, a DOS version may be helpfull to run on Android under dosbox.

Yes, I know it's an ancient program. Problem is, I've bought an ancient textbook that has all its code in TB. Anyway, I can't get this to run. Tried DOSBox first, only to be told that the program requires win32. So I tried to run it in Wine, but got the infamous '...encountered a serious error...' dialog. Run in a fresh prefix, no Winetricks, dll overrides, configuration

I'm not trying to complain here--honestly. I've just been wondering why Wine cannot do 256 color apps. I know it is possible, as DOSBox seems to have no trouble. Is there just some bug somewhere, or has it just not been implemented yet?

I have several batch files from my windows installation that I've been using for many years, and I wonder what's the best way to transfer them to a Linux machine, without having to rewrite them as shell scripts. Some of these batch files call DOS programs and some call Win32 console programs. Unfortunately I have a few that has calls to both a DOS and a Win32 console program. The problem

Currently attempting to run an old PC game on my Mac (Leopard). I've installed Wine using MacPorts, which worked flawlessly. Now when I attempt to install my PC Game the terminal responds with "16-Bit/DOS Support missing." Is there a way to fix this?

I am now at the point where I have one more thing to install before I can scrap my Windows box - and it's Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses. I have installed the DOS-based parts of it in dosbox, and also used sarien and freesci to handle some of it, but there is a significant part of this collection that needs Windows.
