Wine cannot install and run a .exe file

Post by Mehan alavi »

I have installed a file called app.exe
and I have installed the wine using
```bash
sudo apt install wine32 wine64
```
I'm sure that I have Installed it correctly because when I write
```bash
wine --version
```
it will return :
```bash
wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)
```
with No error .

but when I want to run app.exe with :
```bash
wine app.exe
```
it wouldn't do anything and after some minutes it will write:
```bash
0012:err:environ:run_wineboot boot event wait timed out
```
So how can I solve this problem?

and I have installed the wine using
```bash
sudo apt install wine32 wine64
When these packages were installed, what dependencies were installed?

Do you have the same issue if you use the Winehq wine packages?

I have the same issue. Can't right click on an exe to run with Wine either. Wine 5.0 with Ubuntu 20.04.
