Hi there I am new to Wine and Linux so this may be something simple that I am just not doing right, when I try launch an application through the Wine folder browser it just fails straight away and shows a message saying "error"[Shocked], I have tried different applications but none of them seem to work, the applications that come with with like note-pad and so on work perfectly so not sure what I am doing wrong. I did add the application in the wine configuration. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards Donovan [Shocked] [Shocked] [Shocked]

If you can't get it working after that or it is not in the appdb try running it from command line instead of the file browser, sometimes that will give you more helpful error messages. If you need to repost here for help be sure to include the name of the application, what version of wine you are using, what video card and driver version you have, everything you have already tried to make it work, and any error messages you got from the command line. More information makes it easier for people see where the problem might be and how to fix it.
Hi Thanks for your reply After hours of searching I managed to figure out to try through terminal, this managed to launch the application. However this is not ideal as I cannot ask my users to do this every time the need to run a windows app. The app in question is a program written internally, its pretty basic, doesn't need a database connection and has no windows dependencies, as far as we know. Also, I noticed that if I right click on the app and select "launch with wine" option its also does not work, however no error message pops up that time. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
No that wouldn't work for us as there is still development going on for the windows side of this application, and rebuilding it in a linux language would mean two seperate projects that we would have to keep up to date. The main problem at the moment is the way that we have to launch application using terminal, which we can't expect users to do? Any idea why I cannot launch apps through the Wine folder browser or by right clicking on the app and running it that way? Again, thanks for the help :-)
