Attempting to install an .EXE.

Post by Crusader_Katacalysm »

I am trying to install something called omnitool to help with a game I have and every time I try to install it with the & wine Omnitool.exe command in terminal I get a reply message of: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\OMNI.exe"
Grady-Hodders-iMac:~ GradyHodder$

Does anyone know how I fix this?

Also I am sorry if I am missing something obvious, I'm not the best when it comes to computers.

Hi
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\OMNI.exe"
This kind of messages I get when I launch wine from the wrong directory.
You should put your .exe file in ~/.wine/drive_c/ and cd to that directory before launching your executable with wine.

Code: Select all

$ cp omnitool.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/
$ wine omnitool.exe
This assumes that your wine prefix is located at ~/.wine.
