Hi there .... Some time ago, I mentioned that I could not install .msi
files using wine. The suggestions were mostly things I's already
tried. I now confirm that it is impossible to install .msi file using
wine under Ubuntu - and I have proof that this is NOT a wine problem!
I've been taking part in a discussion on a forum devoted to a Calibre
plugin that uses Python to interact with two different Windows programs
running under wine. Someone who uses Mint got the system working that I
needed to use. In the course of discussion helping him, I looked long
and hard at the Python code that is used to move information between
wine programs, and Calibre running under Linux. I could see where my
problem was occurring, but to prove it out, I installed Mint on a spare
hard-drive. When I installed wine under Mint, I was amazed to discover
that Mint was using the wine and associated packages from the Ubuntu
repository! And this same wine installation that fails under Ubuntu
works perfectly under Mint!
There is a problem. As it doesn't seem to be a wine problem, is there
an Ubuntu/wine person that I could report this to?
Kind regards, Barry.
