Is it posibble to install only the Windows file browser?

Post by gatoso »

Hello

This is the issue: I want to install only the WIndows file browser. Is it possible do it?

What goes is I need to install a program for using a virtual hard disk. It interacts with the windows file browser, so one can copy, remove and move files from and to the virtual hard disk from the windows file browser.

Thanks in advance. :P :P

gatoso so far you have not stated exactly what program. Wine does include its own file browser.

virtual hard disk make me think you are going the wrong way. Linux is not Windows. Running wine does not magically make Linux Windows.

qemu-nbd from qemu/kvm and vdfuse patch to virtualbox allows hard drive images to be mounted under Linux. If what you are talking about is one of the normal VHD you don't need windows.

qemu-nbd allows a lot of different image types to be turned into drives under Linux.

Thank you for replying

The program is this one: https://disk.yandex.com/download/YandexDiskSetup.exe/

yandex, also, provides a program for Debian and Ubuntu (I use Mint), but it does not work properly, this is why I want to utilize the windows version of the mentioned program.

Related to qemu: really I don't know if it is possible to use that aplicattion with disk.yandex.com service

A question: How can I launch the file browser of WINE?

Thank you, again :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

gatoso this is why its important to state what you problem is. You are correct qemu-nbd will not work with yandex.

You are not the only one with the problem with the yandex client being crud.

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2 a lot are using davfs2 to the webdav interface of yandex.

gatoso I am not suggesting something they don't suggest either.

http://www.re.be/webdav_sync/index.xhtml There are a few webdav sync tools if you are needing off line access to the files as well.
