Hi folks, I am new to Linux but got some programs to work and am so far quite happy with it and like to stay on Linux.
I have installed Linux Mint alongside Windows and I like to launch a Dutch/English translation exe which is on the Windows partition. Wine says it cannot open the database as it is not on the given location (C:\VanDale\ ... etc.etc.) But the Windows partion is not longer visible as C: So I cannot change the path to C:\
Any clues? I am very grateful for your help
Many, many thanks!

You shouldn't try to run your software installed, directly on a native Windows partition.Jeanno wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:48 am ...

See: WineHQ FAQ: 5.1 I have lots of applications already installed in Windows. How do I run them in Wine?
First step would be to get an up-to-date version of Wine. See: WineHQ Wiki: Ubuntu.
Then try re-installing your translation application to a clean WINEPREFIX ...
See: WineHQ FAQ: 6.5 Wineprefixes.

Many thanks Bob, you're great! Thumbs up.
I will seek for the iso I must have somewhere and copy that to the Linux partition. Hopefully I manage to install the software that way, it certainly seems now to be the way to do it.
In retrospect I am a bit embarrased that I did not study all the wiki of WineHQ, so you directed me to the right track. Thanks for that too.
Cheers!
