Window version not changing

Post by Artties »

I installed LINE https://line.me/en/ with wine on Linux, but couldn't get it to work because this program doesn't support Window 7,8 (so only window 10 works). I already change window version in winecfg to window 10, and wine regedit also say it is window 10, but when I launch the app the program still give me a notice that window 7,8 is not supported and ask me to update to window 10..

Is it this program? https://desktop.line-scdn.net/win/legac ... neInst.exe

How far do you get? For me, I get to the login dialog, but since I don't have an account, I can't progress.

Uh thanks, it seems to have detected my Win7 VM and downloaded the Win7 version. I hate when websites don't give you an option.

I opened a bug here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51682
