wine64 installed and no effect in execution

Post by saturn »

Hi, I have installed wine on a centos7 system. wine64 --version gives wine-1.8

Then I downloaded putty.exe and
wine64 putty.exe
executes, but nothing happens, I just get the prompt back.

[root@localhost Desktop]# wine64 --version
wine-1.8
[root@localhost Desktop]# wine64 putty.exe
[root@localhost Desktop]#

I tried the same as local user with the same result.

Any advise much appreciated.

Where did you download putty.exe from? If it was from the PuTTY website (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/), that's a 32 bit executable and won't work in pure 64 bit Wine.
