black screen when program.exe opened - Settings to change?

[kjw]

I am trying to install the game Dust: A Tale of the Wired West using Wine 1.4.1 on Debian Wheezy. The installation process seems to go fine with a mounted iso file of the game. When I open dust.exe wine starts, the screen goes black with a large hourglass in the bottom right. If I move the mouse, it turns into a large cursor, but the game never starts. I'm not sure if this problem is specific to the game or if I have some configuration in wine that I need to do. I appreciate your help.

Your Wine version is old and no longer supported; upgrade. If the problem persists in the current development release, post terminal output.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried to upgrade my version, but it is still showing as version 1.4.1.

I followed the instructions here:
http://www.binarytides.com/install-wine-debian-wheezy/

I have tried every combination of libwine and wine files, but there have been errors about unable to install, or no errors, but the version is not updated.

I am on a 64bit system. Are there specific downloads I should be looking at?

Thanks

Thanks. That's where I'm having the problem. Am I supposed to install every file listed under my specific platform?

I am pretty sure I have installed all combinations of these, but no dice.

You're supposed to follow the instructions on the page for your distro, but looking closer, I see those packages are only for Sid. You can ask on the Debian forum if there are any current packages for Wheezy, but if there aren't, you'll have to build Wine yourself.

Here is the output:

kjw@kjw:~/Documents/Games/Dust$ wine Dust.exe
p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think that means you need the 32-bit gnome-keyring package. Unfortunately you can't install both the 32 and 64-bit versions at the same time.

I think, again, the actual solution to your problem is to build wine yourself. Instructions for that are here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
