Wine 3.0.5 install

[dlw1146]

Using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Have Wine 4.0.1.
Having trouble installing wine 3.0.5.
Read directions at a website. Did not work.

How is 3.0.5 installed?

The real question is: Why do you want an older Wine version?

You can't install two versions of winehq-stable with apt.
(You can install wine-stable, wine-devel and wine-staging together)

If you want to downgrade you could run

Code: Select all

sudo apt install winehq-stable=3.0.5~bionic wine-stable=3.0.5~bionic wine-stable-amd64=3.0.5~bionic wine-stable-i386=3.0.5~bionic

As for me: I had no problems installing WIne 4.0.1. (Linux Mint 19.1) But there is an old Windows program that I liked and that doesn't run under a version of Wine for the first time. (CUEcards) Maybe the problem is Mint 19.1, I can't judge that, but I would also like to downgrade. However, I don't want to shoot up my working WIne installation either. So far all attempts to install something other than WIne 4.0.1 have failed.

If there is a regression between two Wine versions that is a bug and should be know by the Wine developers.

@squiffy
Is this the program that you mean?
Both versions seems to run fine with wine 4-12.1
If you are still experiencing problems, create a new forum post.

Okay. I've never done this before, but I'll try it. Do I have to set up a new account? My forum account does not work for the Wine HQ Bugzilla forum.

Yes, that's the program. Also the reader, which is also free. It doesn't crash so easily but it also causes problems. I have been using the programs under Wine since 2012 and they have always worked. You had to install two DLLs over Winetricks and then it ran without problems. The program still works, but if you switch back and forth between folders and flashcards it crashes reproducibly.
Can you tell me how to install wine 4-12.1 on my system? 4.12.1 is a development version. Do I have to uninstall 4.0.1 first? Sorry for the questions, but I've never had to do anything like this before.

Please make a new forum topic about this question, so we don't hijack this topic.
(I know dlw1146 hasn't respond, but it is still her/ his question)
You could copy-paste your last post and link to this topic.
Don't forget to mention your Linux distribution!
