Not able to open windows .exe file using wine


Hi,

I'm new to the forum so I don't know if I'm posting in the right place. I'm doing so because my doubt is with regards to running a windows app in linux.

I am a freelance writer and use article spinning software like "TheBestSpinner" occasionally. Usually I log into windows XP (I have a dual boot) for this. I am however trying to see if it is possible for me to run this software in linux using wine.

I am still relatively a newbie in linux as I have been using Mint 10 for only 6 months. I'm am familiar with the command line but generally use the GUI mostly. I installed the software but when I tried to run the .exe file I got an error that said that I had to install mono for windows. I did that too and installed it inside wine. I am now getting an error that I am unable to resolve by myself because google is not helping me. I am posting the output of what I get when I try running it below. I would be very grateful to anyone who could help me out with letting me know what exactly I need to do.

fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:dwmapiwmIsCompositionEnabled 0x33bc74

** (TheBestSpinner.exe:27): WARNING **: mono_class_from_mono_type: implement me 0xb6

**
ERROR:class.c:5162:mono_class_from_mono_type: code should not be reached


Regards,
Rex

Hi appilu,

I installed wine from synaptic. Do you want me to reinstall it.

Try installing the mono dependencies through wine tricks and see if it does the trick.
