Can't install Waterfox through Wine on Linux Mint 17 64-bit

Post by MyRay »

just recently installed Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite laptop 64-bit
installed Wine through the software manager, believe it is the most recent version

I'm trying to install Waterfox but getting an error:

wine Waterfox28.0Setup.exe
err:service:service_send_start_message service L"MountMgr" failed to start
fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"MountMgr" failed to start: 1053
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x002fc008 at address 0x7f3d2d6c6150 (thread 000d), starting debugger...
err:module:attach_process_dlls "gdi32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\susan\\Downloads\\Waterfox28.0Setup.exe" failed, status c0000005


any idea what is going wrong here and how to fix it would be appreciated :)

Unless you added the Wine PPA, it's not the latest version. If it's not, try installing the package from the Wine PPA, then try installing your app to a clean wineprefix.
