Mac: ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error.

Post by daredevil »

when I try to run the Notepad++ I receive an error:


daredevil@iMac ~ % wine64 /Users/daredevil/Documents/notepad__plus__plus/npp.8.4.4.Installer.x64.exe
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error.


Any help?
Thank you

Download the portable zip archive instead, it’s very common for windows software to be packaged with a 32Bit installer even when the actual installed software is 64Bit.
