Can't get wine to run any programs: included error message.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Okay I just installed the latest ver of Ubuntu and then installed the beta ver of Wine because the non-beta told me that it wouldn't install on AMD x 64 type computers. 

So I just installed the beta Wine version and I can't get any programs to run at all using wine.

I also am having many pages on this forum stalling out, so i tried to read the user manual but i am not able to load it.

It appears that wine creates a dir of the programs on the windows area of the HD but why can't I just install the program I want to run through my ubuntu interface

Here is error code i get no matter what i try to run--other than the one notepad program that seems to be included with the wine program.

Thanks for any and all help!!!
