unable to install a windows application on wine

[baderjasim]

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Wine 1.6.1 installed in /home/$user/.wine
I'm accessing the server using vnc which installed under the same user.

I’m having problem to setup utorrent_inst.exe

when i click on “utorrent_inst.exe” i get error “unable to execute file in the temporary directory. setup aborted. Error 5:Access denied."

so i have tried to change the owner of /home/<user>/.wine to root by using sudo chown -R root:root /home/<user>/.wine that error message gone and when i click on the execute file it keep loading for some seconds and then nothing happens when i back the owners to the user i get the error message again.

when i do wine utorrent_inst.exe in terminal i get the following error

fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

when i do echo $DISPLAY i get nothing.



Please help me to solve this issue.

Thank you.

Number 1 never run wine as root. History of system damage is huge from doing this.

“unable to execute file in the temporary directory. setup aborted. Error 5:Access denied."

Changing temp location might have fixed the first error.

utorrent does have a server edition for Linux. Server editions only include the web front end.

baderjasim straight up attempting to installer application into wine using vnc or rdp is going to be trouble. Since even if you do succeed windows applications expect the graphical to be running in most cases and when you exit vnc or rdp x11 session will end so Windows application will die. You need experience using Xvfb before you attempt to convert normal Windows applications to server ones.

baderjasim please think what you are attempting to achieve. I think you have reached for a Windows application when you should have reached for the Linux native.
