Compiled and installed wine, winecfg works but that's it.

Post by buttfreak »

I am on a fresh install of the new ubuntu 21.10. I'm not a super linux user, but I'm not unfamiliar with wine, and have installed and used it in the past. As there are no repos yet for 21.10 from winehq, I decided to compile and install myself from the github source for the first time. I compiled successfully, and installed wine64 onto my system.

When I run winecfg in the terminal, the menu shows up, I can see that I am running wine 6.19, etc.. The /home/.wine was created and I can also run "wine64 notepad" and the notepad opens and I can save and edit with it, so so far so good? wine64 --version also gives the correct response (6.19)

The problem is that whenever I actually try to run an exe, I run into this error:

Code: Select all

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error.
This happens no matter what type of exe I try, and many are .exe files that I have successfully installed with wine in the past. Additionally, right clicking on the .exe gives no indication that my system recognizes it as a file that could be opened with wine. It simply doesn't know what to do. I'm stumped.

Did you also compile the 32-bit part of Wine?
