Access violation when using an installer

Post by WinenewbieIn »

I have wine installed, version 10 but I have also tired 10.6. I my OS is Opensuse Tumbleweed with latest updates.

When using an installer (e.g. the installer SubtitleEdit-4.0.12-Setup.exe) I get an access violation at address 004AFCDe in module SubtitleEdit-4.0.12-Setup.exe Write of address 00400000.

i have tried other installers too (Subtitle Workshop). Similar error. Notepad++ on the other hand, installs properly.

The portable program of Subtitle Edit and other standalone programs works without problems.

I've also tried to delete .wine directory; same result.

I suspect it's related to Opensuse, but I am unsure. I don't have much Linux experience, please be patient.

I just found the solution. I set selinux (which comes standard with opensuse), to permissive instead of enforcing (which is the default) mode. In /etc/selinux/config and set SELINUX=permissive did the trick! I hope someone will add this solution to a FAQ or similar. I think would help other people who also use opensuse or linux distribution with selinux.
