Post by TheTurtleApocalypse »

I get this error(s) when i type "wine gfwlivesetup_50580fa3e0000001.exe"

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\gfwlivesetup_50580fa3e0000001.exe"

Please help... I have tried everything!

you need to cd into the same directory you have gfwlivesetup_50580fa3e0000001.exe in... Wine doesn't know where that exe is to use. The way you typed it it will look in the current directory... and since it wasn't in the current directory, it checked the system32 directory and didn't find it either, so gave you an error that it couldn't find it.

Hi TheTurtleApocalypse,

You can enter with 'Tab' the full path name so you're going sure that there is no spelling mistake... As dimesio has stated above, change into the right directory where your .exe-file is stored: for example 'cd (change directory) ~/.wine/c_drive/program\ files/...' and then type in the first few letters of your exe file (gfw and hit the 'Tab'-Button for full path name)
To see what is inside the directory, type 'ls' (list) into terminal.

I guess this won't solve your problem since a Windows Live Game doesn't work with wine although

Cheers mate,
