Hi + question.
Hi + question.
Hello everyone,
Just joined the forum. My question might be a difficult one to answer...
I never really bothered with Wine but the other day I thought why not try it and installed Alibre Design V12.1. It seemed to install ok but won't start. My question is: Why won't it run? I'm trying understand how functionality behind it in the sense that perhaps there are settings one can tweak.
Anyone?

Re: Hi + question.
We need more information. What version of Wine? If it's older than 1.2, upgrade. If it doesn't work in 1.2 or later, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminalbigseb wrote: I never really bothered with Wine but the other day I thought why not try it and installed Alibre Design V12.1.

Wine was installed justa few days ago via synaptic. It said it was version 1.2 but I can't the documentation...
Re: Hi + question.
I doubt those % are really part of the path (they are definitely not part of Program Files), and that's not the way to handle spaces in filenames. The easiest way is just to put double quotes around the whole thing.bigseb wrote: Here is the terminal output:

Change (cd) to the program directory first, then run the app with wine and just the name of the exe, e.g.
Code: Select all
wine "Alibre Design.exe"

Re: Hi + question.
@ Dimesio and James McKenzie:
Thanks. Here is some more terminal output:
sebastian@sebastian-laptop:~$ cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Alibre\ Design/Program
sebastian@sebastian-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Alibre Design/Program$ wine 'Alibre Design.exe'
install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables
This logging code: wine 'Alibre Design.exe' > design.log 2>&1 does nothing

Re: Hi + question.
Either install the Windows version of Mono as it suggests, or install .NET. Both can be installed with winetricks. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricksbigseb wrote: install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables

Just so I've got it straight: First I install Winetricks:dimesio wrote:Either install the Windows version of Mono as it suggests, or install .NET. Both can be installed with winetricks. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricksbigseb wrote: install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Then I install Mono:
sh winetricks mono20 (it doesn't which one to use)
Is this correct? Also the list is rather confusing in the dotnet area. Does it work or not? Can/should I install both mono and dotnet or will that cause conflict?
If you have any tips regarding installing this please let me know. I am very new to wine.
Re: Hi + question.
What distro are you using? Some of them include winetricks in their packages, so you may not have to download it. Open a terminal and type winetricks; if it's already installed, a little GUI list of things that can be installed with it should pop up.bigseb wrote:[

Personally, I've never had any luck with mono. YMMV. As to conflicts, I don't know of any for sure, but as a general rule it's best to start with a clean wineprefix.
You need to find out what version of .NET your app requires. The newer it is, the less likely it is to work.

Distro is Ubuntu 10.04 x64. Winetricks in terminal does nothing. Will find out about which .net is neededdimesio wrote:What distro are you using?
