Is it possible to get Datakam Player/Registrator Viewer, a program supplied with many dashcams, to run on my Linux system using wine? When I try to do so at the moment, I get a "Bad EXE format" error. I am running wine-1.6.2 on a Debian 7 system, amd64. I can play the video and audio parts of my dashcam footage using a variety of players but they don't handle the GPS part. -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-wine at tinsleyviaduct.com Web: http://phil.tinsleyviaduct.com/

If you have an MSI file, you can run it with: wine msiexec /i path/to/installer.msi If that's not the problem, then I don't have enough information. Try running the "file" command on your "bad EXE format" file and tell us what it is. Andrew
