How to run a installer as a user not administrator with wine-staging?

[teamremia]

version : wine-5.19(staging)
installer : OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe

When I executed above installer, the installer aborted with the message 'run as a user , not with administrator previledge.'
I know normally wine only executes an application with administrator previledge.

So I entered as below :
'$ wine runas / trustlevel: 0x20000 OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe'

but wine claimed as below :
'0024:err:module:process_init L"C:\\windows\\system32\\runas.exe" not found'

I don't know why my wine-staging rejects the 'runas' option. It there anyone who know how to fix it?

I think there shouldn't be spaces there, you want /trustlevel:0x20000
Which may not help; are you sure you're running 5.19-staging? Depending on your system and what you've installed you may need to use the full path (/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine) otherwise you'll get some other version that is installed as the "default" wine. 'wine --version' is easy to check.

>are you sure you're running 5.19-staging?
$ wine --version
wine-5.19 (Staging)
$ sudo apt-show-versions wine-staging
wine-staging:amd64/focal 5.19~focal uptodate
wine-staging:i386 not installed
$ sudo apt-show-versions winehq-staging
winehq-staging:amd64/focal 5.19~focal uptodate
winehq-staging:i386 not installed

I think I'm using wine-staging version 5.19.

>I think there shouldn't be spaces there, you want /trustlevel:0x20000
okay, I removed a whitespace between '/trustlevel:' and '0x20000'.

After updating wine related packages several times, 'runas' finally started to perform.
But the OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe didn't start and wine aborted with error messages below :

That, uh, really shouldn't happen. Just to be sure can you post the output of 'dpkg -l wine\*'

okay, the output is below:

hm. You can uninstall wine32:i386 if you want but that's most likely irrelevant. I had a look and 'runas' doesn't seem to be included in recent wine-staging packages. I don't know if that's intentional and for the moment the only advice I have is to try an older version if it was working before?

e: It looks like 5.15 staging is the last version that includes runas, though that might be broken somehow? Relevant bug here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613

[teamremia]

I've read the 'runas bug' thread(thanks spoon0042).

OpenLiveWriter requires '.Net Framework' later than 4.62 and it is a gui networking application.
I don't know if a '.Net Framework' application which uses gui feature can work with wine or not.
Because I've never seen a working '.Net Framework' gui application with wine.
One or two years ago, I tried to install OpenLiveWriter.exe but at that time, it could be installed but never be opened(ran) properly.
So I need as newer version of wine as possible since I think newest version has more possibility that it can handle a gui application of '.Net Framework'.

It seems that currently the only way to resolve the issue is 'runas' bug will be fixed and included in wine again.

[spoon0042]

wine actually can run .net programs, either with the free 'mono' implementation that should install automatically, or with the native Microsoft .net installed with winetricks. There were some bugs recently though with the native route and I'd hate to send you into a long frustrating rabbit hole. May be easier to wait and see if the 'runas' issue gets resolved.

>May be easier to wait and see if the 'runas' issue gets resolved.
Yeah, I think so. Hope someone in the wine developer is working on it...
