WINE says "Could not find dependent assembly"

[validemailaddress]

I installed WINE for the first time on my Ubuntu computer because I want to try install some VSTs. Please can someone explain how to fix this error?

I ran :

```bash
flatpak run org.winehq.Wine --install ~/Downloads/Native-Access_2.exe

Although the beginning of the output may look worrying, this is normal.
The real problem is at the end:

Code: Select all

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

This is probably due to the "--install" option passed to Wine.
If you are sure the file ~/Downloads/Native-Access_2.exe exists, try

Code: Select all

flatpak run org.winehq.Wine ~/Downloads/Native-Access_2.exe
