Wine throwing nothing but "ShellExecuteEx: File Not Found"

Post by whiteivy3 »

I'm trying to get around a dependency issue with my distro and install SteelSeries Engine 3 directly through wine, but every attempt returns the following:

Code: Select all

[whiteivy@Ivy wine2]$ WINEPREFIX=/home/whiteivy/wine2/SSE wine64 SteelSeries3.22.2Setup.exe
002c:fixme:winediag:LdrInitializeThunk wine-staging 7.0-rc5 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
002c:fixme:winediag:LdrInitializeThunk Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.
I have tried several different methods of getting this to work, to no avail. (There are records of this working, but even in older versions it still doesn't work?)

(Genuinely about 1 step away from uninstalling linux and not trying again for another 5 years if it's completely impossible to do this on Arch based distros)

The message you get looks like you are not in the directory where SteelSeries3.22.2Setup.exe is.
In which directory did you save the file?
