wine users - Jun 2009 - Noob: Program ran on wine in Ultimate Ubuntu, and not Mint?

Hi everybody!

I've finally found a distro that suits my needs from the starts... well
except for one small thing.

In "Ultimate Edition" (formerly Ultimate Ubuntu) I had no problems
installing and running the Foundry's Nuke compositing software. (not in the
AppDB)

In Linux Mint however- the program disappears after the splash screen.  No
errors, nothing- just disappears. How should I begin trouble shooting and
experimenting with it?
I'm a windows power user- but linux (and WINE) is quite new to me.

I'd appreciate some pointers. Thank you for your time!

Hey,

are you running wine from a console / terminal?
If no, please do it and report errors.
Optionally, you can enable all Wine error outputs:

Code:

$ WINEDEBUG=all
$ wine Executable.exe

Thank you guys for your advice!
You pointed me in the right direction-

When I ran the EXE from the command line- EG:

wine nuke.exe

it worked perfectly fine! Strange! I don't understand it- but I'm quite
happy it worked.
I will remember your troubleshooting advice!
