Can't get wine to work

[SolusUmbra]

I've tried installing wine on Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1 and I keep getting errors when trying to run winecfg

Code: Select all

0009:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
0010:err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {00000131-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

I'm not sure what to do as I'm pretty new to Linux. Thanks

How did you install Wine?
Do you get the same error if you create a clean Wineprefix?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/Wine-test winecfg

Yes I’ve removed wine (as best I can) several times and tried reinstalling from terminal and the package manager but still get the same errors. I do still get this don’t know if it also needs to be removed or not.

Code: Select all

$ dpkg -l | grep wine
rc wine-desktop-files 4.0.5 all Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer

You seem to have forgotten to state the version of Wine, you are running!!

Code: Select all

wine --version

The less information you give...
The less likely you are to get any help...

Thank you for the note, wine is 4.0

You don't have to remove that package, but is that the only output of dpkg -l | grep wine?
There should be more packages.

Did you tried to remove the default Wineprefix and run winecfg again?

Code: Select all

rm -rf $HOME/.wine
winecfg

When I had posted on the Linux site they had told me to completely remove wine before trying to reinstall so I’m in the process of trying that for the 5th time and haven’t reinstalled yet which most likely why that one program is the only one listed. My mom (who’s computer I’m trying to get set up) is gone until Sunday so I can’t try out anything until she gets back (driving me nuts). Please keep the information and ideas coming so I can try out everything I can.
