Install ISO file on Linux Mint and an error appears. What should I do?


Hi I want to install a 15 GB iso file to a 64 GB USB in Linux Mint and I keep getting this error on Wine when I try to install it.

The usb driver contains 2 exe files and I want to install the setup exe file but it doesn't work.

An ISO file doesn't get installed so to speak, it gets burned into a disk image; burning an ISO to a USB is going to wipe out it's contents not that you couldn't back them up.

You need to tell us in way more detail exactly what you're trying to do, for example why is a microcoughed () emulator and exes involved and what's the 15 GB ISO?

Right...because .EXE files are for Windows...not Linux. Windows software doesn't run on Linux anymore than Mac software runs on Windows. If you told us what this driver was, or what device it was for, we might be able to assist.

I want to install Windows 10 back to my old PC and to stick with it.
What I tried to do was install Wine so that it can run the setup exe file but it didn't.
Should I reinstall Wine?

No, you should go to a Microsoft forum, and follow their instructions. WINE is for running (some) Windows executables. Follow whatever instructions Microsoft has on their forum for installing Windows. You're asking how to install Windows on a Linux forum.

Mint has plenty of tools to burn a Windows ISO to that USB, then install Windows from booting to USB.

We should give some examples the OP might use. We are seeing evidence of the LITW (Lost In The Woods) effect and a guide is called for.

I might use bashburn, but I am a command-line guy. I often just throw the ISO onto my Ventoy thumb and it seems to work.
Does Mint have XFBURN? I forget..

Last time I used an ISO on something that wasn't a C(or DV)D it was an SD (Pi0) and [code]dd[/code] did the trick "if" I remember

or Virtualbox and Hyper-V
