Need to know how to start "RootsMagic 6" with wine

Post by villandra »

I understand that RootsMagic runs fine in Wine. Rootsmagic 6 runs fine in Wine after running a fix which I ran.

My specific problem is figuring out by what name Ubuntu wants me to start it. I found it in the ~./wine/drive c/Program Files folder. It shows in the directory variously as RootsMagic\ 6 with dir and RootsMagic 6 with ls.

I have tried:

wine RootsMagic.exe
wine "RootsMagic 6.exe"
wine RootsMagic\ 6
wine RootsMagic 6.exe
wine "RootsMagic 6"

All get wine: cannot find (whatever).

What do I actually enter to run it?

That means Roots Magic is a subdirectory of Program Files. You will probably find the executable in that directory.
