WINE and Finale 2010

sschimel · Post by **sschimel** » Fri Aug 27, 2010 5:46 pm

I just switched my Dell Dimension 2400 from WIndows XP to Ubuntu Linux 10.0.4 Lucid Lynx. I downloaded and installed Finale 2010. WHen I try to open the program, however, it tries to run (I see the outlines of windows for a second) but then doesn't open. I am completely new to Linux and have no idea what to look for to fix this. I trust someone here will know the answer, because I saw that Finale is rated Silver. Thanks.

I can assure you finale notepad 2010 does work as I set a friend up with it some months ago. How ever I didn't have the issue you talk of so I cant help you further. Sorry!

Good luck.

Look at the AppDB page to see if there is something you need to set up
to have it working (Platinum is the only rating where things work
fully, out of the box...)

The FAQ have some info as well, such as how to run it from a console
window that you can post debug output.

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ (It's a good idea to read the whole thing...)

Check which version of Wine you have:

If it is not at least 1.2, upgrade (see the download page for
instructions)
