You mean this app? http://www1.k9webprotection.com/

Do you realize that even if you manage to install it, it won't affect native browsers, or even Windows browsers installed in other wineprefixes, and your kids could easily uninstall it just by deleting the whole wineprefix?

But if you still want to try to install it, we need more information: what version of Wine (if it's not 1.4-rc3, upgrade), and terminal output.

Hi,

Now I check the version.

This is the console report

andrea@computer:~/Documenti$ wine k9-webprotection.exe

the wine version is 1.3.28

Yes it is http://www1.k9webprotection.com/

Yes it is a vulnerability ..

I was thinking tha I could make a restricted user account.. like in windows.

Now I look if I find the wine log

[Nx-01]

I have update wine to 1.4 rc2

The same problem

this is the terminal report

andrea@computer:~/Documenti$ wine k9-webprotection.exe

You do that in your OS, not in Wine.

andrea@computer:~/Documenti$ wine k9-webprotection.exe
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)

Reinstall your graphics driver. Make sure you have the necessary 32 bit parts installed.

Install wine-gecko.

I have:

1) uninstalled wine

2) Installed vmware tools

3) reboot

4) installed Recommended Packages with sudo sh ./install-wine-deps.sh

5 ) sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3

6 ) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

7) sudo apt-get update

8 ) sudo apt-get install wine1.3

Then I run wine and the k9 installation fails: this is the report

andrea@computer:~/Documenti$ wine k9-webprotection.exe

I read that if I find "FIXME" messages during the installation, I could try to usenative (non-Wine) DLL files in place of Wine's builtin ones

But, How can I do this?

[dimesio]

Don't know why you installed vmware tools; it has nothing to do with Wine.

The one thing you didn't do is delete ~/.wine and start over.

[Nx-01]

I have installed the vmware tools because you told me to reinstall video card driver.

OK I wil try to do as you told me

I have:

andrea@computer:~/Documenti$ lspci | grep VGA

You're running Ubuntu in a VM? What is the host system?

[Nx-01]

Yes, it is an old amd k8 cpu socket 754 without virtualization accelaration.

Now I'll change the host with a core2duo


Ah, do you know if an application installed with wine becomes portable?

Can I bring the installed application to another computer like a clone?

That doesn't answer my question. What is the host operating system, and why aren't you installing in that?

You can copy the wineprefix to another computer, but may have to change some things in the registry.

FYI, I downloaded the app. It tries to install a driver and fails. I suspect it's something that requires access to the Windows kernel, and hence will never work in Wine, because there is no Windows kernel.
