Wine won't open any Win apps

[NginUS]

I have wine 1.6.2 installed from the Lunar Linux repository, & when I click on Windows apps from the GUI, they don't open.

I tried re-associating the .exe's to use Wine64loader & plain Wine64.

What do I have to do to makethese installers work?

Thanks

It sounds like you may have installed only 64 bit Wine; you need the 32 bit parts as well to have a working WoW64 setup. Some distros put them in separate packages, so make sure there isn't a package you've neglected to install. If there isn't, you have a broken Wine build and should report that to the package maintainer.

FYI, you also need to install wine-gecko. If your distro doesn't provide a package for that, install it manually. http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko
