Failed to execute child process (Permission denied)

jacobpkw · Post by **jacobpkw** » Fri May 11, 2012 7:06 am

been long time using windows xp & ubuntu in 1 computer, now try to only using Ubuntu, so take seriously to try on Wine, but unfortunately I keep having the message of -- Failed to execute child process "/home/jacob/.wine/drive_c/ZWDS-CZ.exe" (Permission denied)
anyway I try to put the exe to other folder like /home/jacob etc it still not working.
actually this windows program is created by using VBasic (the programmer tell me...), when 1st time running under windows it will auto create few file like security & data in a same folder.
anyone can teach me how to make the program running in Ubuntu??

Execute permissions. Assuming you installed the file and so are its
owner, you just need the user execute permission set. You can do it via
the Nautilus Properties 'Permissions' tab or from the command line with
chmod - "man chmod" will tell you how to use it.

FYI: Windows doesn't have an execute permission, but Linux does and its
this rather then the file extension that controls whether a file can be
executed. This is all part of the first semester of Linux 101 so its
stuff you need to learn about ASAP.

Somebody else will have to answer this: as of 5 mins time I'll be rather
busy and off the list for a while.

I have removed the link; you do not have the legal right to redistribute this. If the vendor has a free download, post a link to that.

The app needs winetricks vb6run.
