Running as administrator

Post by ishan_24 »

Hey, even ive got ubuntu on my system with wine 1.6.2 version and had an engineer visiting me for installing Marg software but he is not able to run as administrator for entering the key to unlock the software. Please tell me how to fix this. How do you enter the properties of the software and change the settings?

I've split your topic from the thread you originally posted in, as your problem is unrelated. Please do not hijack threads.

The short answer to your question is that Wine runs with Windows administrator privileges by default, so there is nothing for you to change. If entering a key is not working, that is a bug. However, before you file one, you need to upgrade Wine to the latest development release, as 1.6.2 is over two years old and no longer supported. The problem may already be fixed in current Wine.
