Having trouble starting Videoscribe

[walterbyrd]

I am brand new to WINE.

I am running CentOS 6.5 on an AMD quad-core 64-bit system.

I think I got VideoScribe to install, but I can not get it to start.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, I tried going to the application's directory; and running with quotes, as shown in the FAQ. But it still does not work.

Could this be a 32-bit v. 64-bit problem? I thought I had a 64-bit app, but maybe not?

I seem to only have the 64-bit version of wine installed.

$ /usr/local/bin/wine64 start "VideoScribeDesktop.exe"
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error.

$ /usr/local/bin/wine64 start "VideoScribeDesktop.exe"

That is NOT what the FAQ says to do.

I seem to only have the 64-bit version of wine installed.

If that's the case, that's a problem. Where did you get Wine from?

[walterbyrd]

I installed WINE by following the directions here:

http://tecadmin.net/steps-install-wine- ... a-systems/

Essentially:

# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
# yum install libX11-devel freetype-devel zlib-devel libxcb-devel
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine ... 19.tar.bz2
# tar xjf wine-1.7.19.tar.bz2
# cd wine-1.7.19/
# ./configure --enable-win64
# make
# make install

Another good example of why we don't support outside howtos.

Those instructions only build 64 bit Wine. To have a functional setup, you need to build both 32 and 64 bit Wine. Follow these instructions: http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64. The part you need is under "Building a shared WoW64 setup (most likely what you want)."
