Not got a working box to test on right now, fried hard disk I think.

However always worth running from a command line as the error messages will be more diagnostic. Assuming you download into a folder called Downloads id try:

myusername$ wine “~/Downloads/sw2.5.exe”

Then if need be the same with sudo just in case its a privs issue…

I suspect there are settings to increase verbosity of errors but wine at command line is usually verbs enough!!

Sorry, just saw my name pop up. I haven’t been paying a lot of attention! How about we take this to PM so our compadres here don’t have to watch?

Email me at andy@sailor.nu, I’ll try to help. Version of Ubuntu would be helpful too.

Ken,

I’ve reached the limit of my suggestions, unfortunately.

Anyone else who could contribute - Andy Barrow?

Hi Malcolm
I still get the file not found message - have used your test and
notepad opened OK. I’ve downloaded SW 3 times each with the same
result. Wine doesn’t appear to be able to see it or one of the files
in the install process.

Ken,

Do you still get the same `file not found’ error message?

When I initialise the installation, the first step that comes up is the
window `Wise Installation Wizard’ - do you get to that step?

To test your Wine - go to your Home folder. On the top of your screen,
select View', and Show hidden files’
Go to the (now visible) .wine folder
Go the windows sub directory. Open the notepad.exe file with Wine
Windows Program Loader
If that works (a notepad pops up), wine is OK and there might be a
problem with your sailwave file - try downloading again?

I should add that you should re-install SW using Wine after
installing

the new version of Wine.
