Chrome setup - Invalid address, FreeBSD

maxrussell · Post by **maxrussell** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 10:40 am

I've placed the Chromesetup.exe in my .wine/drive_c directory. I've set .wine in my env as wineprefix.
I'm runnng 1.1.8.1

However, if I run wine ChromeSetup.exe, I'm returned:
wine: could not load L"C:\\ChromeSetup.exe": Invalid address

?

Please don't do that.

Download and install the Chrome program from its installer.

Could you please furnish me with some extra information?

Isn't using Wine to Launch the setup program the correct way to run the program from its installer?

cd to the directory where the installer is located before running it.

Try native msxml3. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14864

Note that according to the AppDB, Chrome doesn't work even if you do manage to install it.

As the same also applies for Firefox 3, I suppose I really want to know why I get this error (about the path)

any more help available on this? I've seen a few similar threads, but haven't been able to resolve this path error thing.
