[SOLVED] ms-dos executable decoder request

fusion1275 · 07-30-2010, 11:21 AM

Hello all,

I have a "live lessons" tuturial iso which once mounted opens in a folder called "livelessons.exe".
When this is run on a windows machine and when the executable is run it opens in something like a flash video.

I would like to know if it is possible to run this on Linux because everytime I try to run it I get a missing codec message:

Quote:

application/x-ms-dos-executable decoder

I have tried totem, vlc, firefox, mplayer and get the same messages.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Try it in wine.

Hi, I have just installed the most up to date version of wine using an amendment to my third-party source list.

Once I mount the ISO I right click, properties and make sure it is executable and select to run using Wine.

I then double click and then bingo!! Im in.

Thanks for you help.
