AACS Updater

Post by mapomme1108 »

Hello,

I want to install AACS Updater on Ubuntu 16.04

I have installed Wine with terminal command :

Code: Select all

apt-get install wine
To install AACS Updater (32 bits version), I have used the right click menu > open with > Wine
and it installed fine.

But when I run AACS Updater, there is this error message :
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "".
Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.


What can I do?

The Ubuntu LTS repository version of Wine is very outdated...

You need to install an up-to-date version of Wine... See WineHQ Ubuntu ...

Trying to run or install Windows applications - using the supplied Wine .exe .desktop launcher is recipe for heartache. :cry:

You are better off running and installing Windows applications, using Wine on the commandline - in a terminal window.
All the useful information, for troubleshooting purposes, is in the Wine console output..
However you never see this if you run Wine from your File Manager.

See WineHQ FAQ ...

I'd also recommend testing with a 32-bit WINEPREFIX (which is covered in the WineHQ FAQ linked above).
That can improve Wine compatibility for many Windows applications.
