Cannot start DOS application

Post by glmonarch »

Hello!
I have a problem with Windows program The dude. It's program works nice on my Windows 7 x64 and x32 bit.

I have Ubuntu Server 12.04 and wine 1.4.1:

root@dude:~# uname -a
Linux dude 3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 11 18:52:46 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
root@dude:~# wine --version
wine-1.4.1

I try to install this program The Dude and i recieve the error:

root@dude:~# wine dude-install-3.6.exe
winevdm: Cannot start DOS application Z:\root\dude-install-3.6.exe
It failed with error code 1.
Try running this application with DOSBox.


Why wine thinks that this application is for DOS? It's a Windows application absolutely.


Thanks for any help.

Never run Wine as root. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_as_root

Your Wine version is old. Upgrade to the latest development release.

Is this the app? http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude
