Installers close after seconds

[Inkuneko]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to linux and have a fresh install of the latest Mint and WineHQ. Every time I open a windows installer using Wine, the installer will suddenly close for no apparent reason as if I suddenly tapped the X to close it.

What am I doing wrong?

Wine version? If it's not 1.6, upgrade. If it is 1.6, pick an installer to run from a terminal and post the output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

I tried to run it in the Konsole but it told me this: "wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\inkuneko\Downloads\SteamInstall.msi."

Doing it that way I recieved this:

fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x000000e6 at address 0x7bc475d8 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x7bc475d8

The installer started with fixme, but closed when I hit "next."

Delete ~/.wine. If you are on a 64 bit distro, create a 32 bit wineprefix with

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

then run the installer.

Thank you very much! Installers working fine now!
