Winetricks msi2 error

[estario]

Hello,
I am trying to run Photoscape 3.6.5 on Liinux Mint 15 Olivia. I am following the instructions in this video. When I execute the command

Code: Select all

winetricks msi2

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Unknown arg msi2
Usage: /usr/local/bin/winetricks [options] [command|verb|path-to-verb] ...
Executes given verbs.  Each verb installs an application or changes a setting.

I tried the following commands but with no effect:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks

What is the problem@

After you have downloaded winetricks you should put in /usr/local/bin and then launch.

The problem is you're following instructions for obsolete versions of Wine and winetricks. Current winetricks cannot install msi2.

Outside howtos are not supported here, so if you really want to follow that one, ask its creator for help.

Can ypu give me a link to a more up to date guide or give me instructions on how to run the application with the current version of wine?

[dimesio]

The place to look for in info on various apps in Wine is the AppDB. The most recent test report in the Photoscape 3.6.5 entry rates it platinum for current Wine, which means it should install and run out of the box.

I uploaded the error I get. If someone can check it and point me to the problem I will be very grateful.

The backtrace was short; you should have just pasted it into the body of your post as you did with the winetricks output.

Your Wine version is old and no longer supported. The function it is crashing on was implemented a long time ago. Upgrade to the latest development release.

Based on the AppDB data, you should not need to install msi2 or anything else to get Photoscape to work in current Wine.

I updated wine, using this guide and now Photoscape works perfect. Thank you all for the help.
