Installing Matlab 2010b, unexpected error when saving to C

[Cat44]

Hi,

I am trying to Install Matlab 2010b using Wine 1.4 (I know this is not the latest vesion but this was the version installed from the Software Centre and I have not updated it since the AppDB suggests Matlab does not work at all using 1.6) in Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.

The installer will open and go through the licence pages fine but when it gets to the page where it asks where to save the files it first says that C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b does not exist do you want to create it, I say yes and then next and it says there has been an unexpected error. I have attached the log file for the first time I tried. I am completely new to Ubuntu and Wine. I've done this a few times with the same result (after a restart). I have installed another small Windows progam and that installed fine so I think Wine has installed ok. If I view the hidden folders then Matlab did make the MATLAB/R2010b folders as above but there is nothing in them. Also, at the bottom of the where to save the files window it says the required space 500 MB but the available space is 0 MB, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Any ideas if I have done something wrong or is this an unresolvable issue?

Any help much appreciated,
Cat

I am trying to Install Matlab 2010b using Wine 1.4 (I know this is not the latest vesion but this was the version installed from the Software Centre and I have not updated it since the AppDB suggests Matlab does not work at all using 1.6) in Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.

The user who filed the garbage test report for 1.6 did file a bug, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34728. He was asked to run a regression test two months ago, and still hasn't.

I would upgrade to the current development release and retest.

Thanks for your prompt reply. That is a good plan and I will upgrade Wine, but unfortuantely I have had a problem with the software centre when I tried to Uninstall Wine 1.4 (something about the sources) which I have posted on the Ubuntu forum. Hopefully I will be able to get that sorted and then sort out Wine. I will let you know if the upgrade solves the problem.
Many thanks,
Cat
