Installation has failed: please re-run this installer as a normal user instead of "Run as administrator".

Post by fardawn »

Hello everyone,

I am an Arch Linux user and I downloaded wine like this:

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -S wine-staging
Since I heard the wine staging could solve it, but still, the TIDAL exe I am trying to run still reports his error. While metatrade5 exe works fine. Can someone please tell me if there is a solution or is it just that Tidal does not work with Wine?

Many thanks before hand.

Relevant bug here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613

There's instructions there for how to run a program as a user: wine runas /trustlevel:0x20000 installer.exe
...unfortunately there's another bug and the needed 'runas' executable isn't getting built on recent versions. It may be possible to install an older wine-staging version (5.11 if a comment there is correct) to run the installer, then switch back.
