Wine cannot find OriginLab

Post by weasel360 »

I'm new to wine, so this could be something really basic.

I installed Origin earlier and tried to run it using wine. Ran this to get into the right place:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

Then ran

wine OriginLab.exe

Wine says: "wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\OriginLab.exe""

I have used the LS command, OriginLab is in that directory. I have also tried using tab and it comes up:

Common Files/
InstallShield Installation Information/
Internet Explorer/
Origin 851Sr2 Setup Files/
OriginLab/

Any ideas?

You probably need to make an additional "cd OriginLab" or issue a command like
"cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/OriginLab" in the first step.

I use the command
wine /users/myname/.wine/drive_c/program\ files/Origin8/Origin8.exe
and it works fine.

Origin sometimes crashes when I edit a chart's axis labelling.

Don't mind what I just said on window managing. I just saw that, with winecfg, I can switch this stuff on if I like.
