Win program installed and runs but crashes

Post by LittleBubble »

Hi, (Ubuntu 16.04 and latest install of Wine)
I have some CCTV software NVMS5.2 that installs and runs fine and I can see some cameras, all good.

But when I try to change the number of camera views from the default 4 to any of the other numbers, 8, 10, 13 etc, it locks up. I suspect it is trying to write something to a config file. The Alt-F4 still works so i can close it.

I went to the "C:\Program Files" folder and made sure that Me, Groups and Users all had Read/Write Permissions. But, same thing, it locks up.

I tried running the CLI and sudo but got a message that "you don't own Wine." :)

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks

Never run Wine with the sudo command! You will mess-up your Wineprefix.

You could post the terminal output, so we can have a look.
