Chen Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hey i tried installing Wine a few times today getting the same result every time -> Nothing! I installed the RPM for Mandriva (I'm using the Free, KDE). I cannot find the Wine program activation file anywhere... (Thanks to anyone who can help me out).

Greg2 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) I cannot find the Wine program activation file anywhere In a terminal do which wine is it there? If so, do wine /path/to/your-windows.exe replacing 'your-windows.exe' with the name of the .exe you want to run. I should also add that you should place the windows.exe in the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows directory. Edited July 1, 2007 by Greg2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerr82508 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I should also add that you should place the windows.exe in the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows directory. It will probably make no difference in practice, but I would recommend putting a "setup.exe" type file in ~/.wine/drive_c. (On a Windows system one would not usually place a setup.exe in the \windows folder.) If it's a program executable (although Windows programs rarely come as a single executable), I'd put it in a new folder in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files. These correspond with normal Windows usage and could be what the program (or the setup program) expects. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Okay it is there wine-0.1.40-mdv2006 (/usr/bin/wine) I didn't understand what you meant about the Setup.exe and the Windows.exe files to put and where to put them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Ignore the setup.exe and windows.exe stuff. Just do the command as mentioned earlier: wine /home/username/setup.exe or whatever the .exe file is you are trying to run/install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Now when trying to run Ventrilo i get the following error: Missing outbound codec (GSM 6.10 - 11Khz, 16 bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Missing outbound codec (GSM 6.10 - 11Khz, 16 bit) You will have to locate and install the codec. See ventrilo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerr82508 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 You may also want to go to: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2169 Click on your version number. You may find some useful tips on installation and usage. I find that it's a good idea to check out the appDB at winehq before trying to install an application under wine.
