Trying to install ChessBase 8.0 and Hiarcs

kayve · Post by **kayve** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:45 am

I have Ubuntu 11.04 with wine and I am trying to install my ChessBase 8.0 on it using Wine. I have copied the CD to my hard disk and I manage to get the installation splash page, but when I click on Install, it says "Can't Run Setup.Exe"

Can someone help me debug this?

Debugging without log files is very difficult. Please create a log file
from when you try to run the installer.
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log has instructions on how to do this.

If the logs are more than a screen in length, please post them to a site
like pastebin.com (Ubuntu has their own pastie site) and then post the
URL here.

Now I am trying to make sure everything is on my "old partition" I created a link "old_part"

Running wine Setup.exe on the command line solved it. However, now I am trying to utilize my old partition and maybe this is more a linux question than a wine question, but I am hoping you can field it..

I reinstalled Ubuntu on the disk I am running, so the old Ubuntu ended up on a different partition - this partition resides on /dev/sda1 while the booted partition is on /dev/sda6.

I want to utilize the larger disk space, so I made a link.. but I can't change that link into owned by my user, kayve. Is this going to be a problem when I set this equal to the WINEPREFIX?

recap:

1) I solved the original issue on the command line
2) Hope to utilize another partition with WINEPREFIX
3) can't chown the link to user. Ubuntu ignores the command.
4) is this a problem making wine utilize this althernate path?

when I do it from the command line, nothing happens at the command line. Just finishes and gives the prompt back. I don't quite understand what was going on with the above redirection-- bash wouldn't allow the creation of log.txt in the current directory..

On your distro all .exe files need to be executable (chmod +x) or they won't run.
You forgot to 'cd Hiarcs10' before running 'wine Setup.exe'.
Redirecting stdout won't do you any good. All log messages are printed to stderr.
