I'm trying to use Wine on an Intel Mac (OS 10.4.11) to run the Amazon Kindle for PC app. I've installed Wine following the instructions at
http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/
and when I do "wine KindleForPCinstaller.exe" from SH's $ prompt, it successfully creates the file "Kindle For PC.desktop" (which looks like a Windows shortcut or batch/shell file), although it does give the warnings
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} could be created for context 0x17
But, now I can't seem to run it - it says
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\Users\mlevin\Desktop\Kindle For PC.desktop
how do I actually run the thing?
thanks,
Mike
Problem with Wine on a Mac
Re: Problem with Wine on a Mac
.desktop files are useless junk on Macs.. you delete them. The way your using Wine, your going to have to launch fro the command line... by cd into the folder with the .exe and type "wine theexename.exe"mlevin77 wrote:I'm trying to use Wine on an Intel Mac (OS 10.4.11) to run the Amazon Kindle for PC app. I've installed Wine following the instructions at

Should help
Wine program (Kindle) can't make internet connection
ah, thanks!! That gets further - the program runs. When I try to connect to my account though, it complains that it can't get to their server. I think something is wrong with Wine's ability to use internet - here's what I see in the Terminal:kg4cjv wrote: http://nomo17k.wordpress.com/2010/06/11 ... n-squeeze/
