How to run Accordance Bible?

Post by AndrzejBo »

From https://www.accordancebible.com/accordance-free-trial/ Windows version I download Accordance_installer.exe to ~/Downloads
Ensure that Accordance dirs from ~/Documents/ are deleted (are created on first time)

call
wine ~/Downloads/Accordance_installer.exe && wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/OakTree/Accordance/Accordance.exe
note: not to not to launch Accordance from installer – chcckkox off

if Accordance dirs deleted from ~/Documents/ at begin
it open window: browse for folder, where should Accordance save your document
but are problem
1. this folders are from Linux, not Windows – Wine
2. I can’t choose ~/.wine because is hidden

If I choose any folder, are errors:
in Linux console:
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\D:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\E:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.
wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.

Is any solution?

By default the C:\users\username\Documents ( or ~/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Documents) directory is linked to ~/Documents, so you can choose that folder if you want to save the files in ~/Documents.

When you want to see the hidden files and folders in Wine, you can do this in winecfg → Drives → enable "Show dot files"

The (error) message you get means that you don't have write permissions to those disks. Probably D: and E: are CDROM/DVD disks, so those are read-only and Z: is the / folder. An ordinary user has no write permissions there either. So nothing to worry about.
