Please take a look at my error messages

I am brand new to WINE. I hope someone can help me.

This is in regards to installing and running a software called "LDS Library 2006".

I am running a 32 bit Lenovo ThinkPad T60.

The software seems to install alright. However when you try to run it, the cursor pinwheels for around fifteen seconds, then nothing.

The command that is executed by the link that WINE installer leaves on the desktop is:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/robert/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/robert/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/LDS\ Library\ 2006.lnk

After looking at the manual page for wine I decided to run the following commands in a terminal:

$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/robert/.wine"
$ env WINEARCH="win32"
$ env WINEDEBUG="warn+all"
$ wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/robert/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/LDS\ Library\ 2006.lnk

This is the standard output:

$ wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/robert/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/LDS\ Library\ 2006.lnk

wine: Install Mono 2.6 for Windows to run .NET 1.1 applications.

You either need to run the application with Mono (native Linux) or install MS .Net 2.0:

Code: Select all

winetricks dotnet20

But hey the program has already quite clearly told you all that in your short debug output!!

I would recommend locating the default location of your application it will be somewhere in a directory in:
/home/robert/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/???/???.exe
Just like on Windows.

Use BASH to do the heavy lifting for you...

Code: Select all

find "/home/robert/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" -name "*.exe"

cd (Change Directory) to that folder and launch the application directly and run it directly in wine, as in:

Code: Select all

cd "/home/robert/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/???"
wine "???.exe"

(please replace those ??? quotes with something meaningful!!)
This will ensure that your application has it's working path set correctly.
