I have downloaded an executable file that is designed to run in windows.
When I try to open it with wine program loader, I get a message saying
that the subject program could not be closed and things stop.
What is it trying to tell me?
Thanks

C:\Windows\Temp\CloseApp.exe
Open a terminal, cd to the directory where the executable is located, and run it with
substituting the actual filename for "program.exe." Copy whatever messages appear in the terminal and post them here.
Code: Select all
wine program.exe-

jer@jer-basement:~/Shared Documents$ wine ahsetup.exe
err:service:load_reg_multisz Error 1804 while reading value
L"DependOnGroup"
err:service:scmdatabase_load_services Error 1804 reading registry key
for service L"InCDPard" - skipping
This is what shows up in the terminal window.
The program that I am trying to install is ahsetup.exe.
The ahsetup.exe seems to create the CloseApp. If I delete that program
from c:\windows\temp, the next time I try to install ahsetup, CloseApp
will appear.
Does this mean that ahsetup thinks that some other application is
running while I try to install?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

1. Is ahsetup.exe this program? http://cleansofts.org/download/air-hunter.html
2. Is closeapp.exe this program? http://www.traction-software.co.uk/closeapp/
Because it looks to me like you must have installed closeapp.exe (or perhaps some other program that included it) at some point, and now it's doing exactly what it's designed to do, shut down running Windows processes, in this case ahsetup.exe. The solution would be to delete your .wine directory and start over (without installing closeapp.exe this time).

The ahsetup.exe that I am trying to get is the program to input commands
to an X10 module that then controls electric lights etc throughout the
home.
When installed in a windows machine, it becomes Active Home. And shows
each of the outlets, lights, or motors that you have set up on the home
grid.
My file is 3.4 Meg.
The one that your message points to is called air hunter. I don't know
what size the file is but I can tell you that before the error message
pops up, the install looks just like active home when I put it on a
windows machine.
I don't think that the file I am trying to install is air hunter. But,
it does appear that my set up file installs or activates the closeapp
program.
I THOUGHT that the closeapp came with windows as I have seen this
program run on windows machines but only when I have hit the shut down
button.

Okay, I found the right ahsetup.exe (Active Home).
It's doing the same thing for me: extracting CloseApp.exe (which is the same program I found) to the temp folder, but then shutting down with an error message about being unable to use it.
As to why, the answer, IMO, is that this is a very old program (the download site says it works in Windows 3.1), and most programs that old simply don't work in Wine. I suspect that even if we could get past the installer error, the app still wouldn't work properly--it seems like something that probably relies on Windows hardware drivers, which wouldn't work in Wine.
I did, however, stumble across the X10 Community Forum at http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php , which has a section for Linux. You might want to ask there about setting up your system--there seem to be native Linux apps to control at least some models of X10 hardware.

Thanks a lot.
It would be better to make this program run in native linux since that
is what I consider to be the future OS around here.
I did not think about how old the program is but now that it comes up, I
have been using this since the early 90's. In fact, I used to have a
problem when the start and stop days for day light savings changed. X10
had hard wired those dates in and I had to tell the "box on the wall"
the incorrect time or it would not get sunrise and sunset programs run n
time.
I will proceed over to the Linux site.
