Installed program won't start

Post by dewiclements »

I'm running wine-5.0 on ubuntu 20.04.
Last week I installed a windows program, and it ran fine.
Today I tried to run it and it failed.
I've done the obvious things (robooting, reinstalling the program) and it still doesn't run.
What could cause this?
How do I get error messages from WINE?

How do I get error messages from WINE?
Run the program from a terminal.
This usually shows the error messages. If not, try playing with the WINEDEBUG variable.
For example:

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=fixme+all wine program.exe
I'm running wine-5.0 on ubuntu 20.04.
Meanwhile, Wine has released version 7. If you want, you can easily upgrade with WineHQ's Wine packages.
