Wine-development on debian

Post by Kimy »

Hi, recently I have installed winde-development on my debian testing, but I have an issue that I don't have on Wine stable.

the Apps can't be started by double click, and Libraries fail download when Wine launches the first time

What are the exact Wine versions--development and stable?

Did you reinstall your apps to a clean wineprefix after upgrading? If not, try that. Wineprefixes usually survive upgrades, but problems are more likely when making a big jump in versions.

I did a clean install of debian with wine-development 1.7.26-2. and I had those problems. indeed if I install wine stable 1.6.2-8 then everything works like a charm.

my issue is I can't launch Apps by double click

What happens when you run them from a terminal?

Sounds like a filetype association problem rather than a Wine issue. Exactly what happens when you double-click? Any popup error messages? Have you tried right-clicking and selecting "Open with..." and specifying Wine?

You also never answered my question as to whether you reinstalled your apps after upgrading.

If the apps run fine from the terminal, it's not a Wine issue. Ask for help on the Debian forum with setting up your system to use Wine to run exe files when you double click them.
