It seems like a record, but every single program I have tried to run under wine that is not included by default on the wine install (Simcity 4, Spotify and itunes) seems to crash 100% of the time (or in the case of itunes not work correct at all)
I have the latest version of wine, and I'm wondering if I did something wrong that is causing wine to fail so horribly (I have Ubuntu 11.10)
Please help
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Did I do something wrong?

Spotify appears as gold and platinum, yet when I open it, either wine or spotify crash upon opening :/
I wonder seriously if I made a bad installation error when I installed wine

You can try installing the program of question to its own prefix. Also, did you compile from source or install from a binary package?
I don't think there's much you can do wrong unless compiling from source. Unless you are clicking on launchers that don't work or mixing up prefixes. Or running Wine as root. That's the cardinal sin, running Wine as root.
Some programs need dll overrides or winecfg changes or things to be installed or registry work or in extreme cases, a Wine patch. But if any of these are required, instructions to do so should be in the AppDB.
You can always try uninstalling and reinstalling Wine if you think it installed wrong. If you are running normal Wine on a 64-bit OS, you have to install certain 32-bit libraries, but if you are installing from a package, I'd think those would be included.
Good Luck,
Jake

Because all of those programs have issues.danielsard wrote:It seems like a record, but every single program I have tried to run under wine that is not included by default on the wine install (Simcity 4, Spotify and itunes) seems to crash 100% of the time (or in the case of itunes not work correct at all)
Also when reading AppDB pay attention to application and Wine versions. Different app versions run differently. Same applies to Wine.
