You're going to have to clarify your question. You say you created a Windows .exe file....windows executables will NOT work under Linux, anymore than a Mac executable will work under Windows. They're two different operating systems.

You also say "my setup installed successfully"...what part of the setup? Installing MySQL? Are you using Wine to run the .exe? What problems are you having?? Without clear information, no one will be able to help you.

Ok.

I have successfully installed full setup of my windows application (Desktop application) using WINE.

but when I'm trying to open my application using shortcut from desktop its not opening.

can you please help me regarding the same.


Thanks in advance,

Sachin.

We might be able to help you, but as I said in my first post, without YOU giving us information, we can't.

You still haven't said what version/distro of Linux, what error(s) you're getting, or what you've tried. All we know is you clicked an icon, and it didn't work.

Provide some actual, useful, details.

Open it from a shell and post the result here. But warning, wine is a win32 compatibility layer, not .NET. You should try to compile your application using the mono compiler, it should produce a native Linux binary.

For .NET windows application I have used following things:
To develop application: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (framework 2.0)
Database: My SQL 5.0

Created setup with above application configuration.
In that application for database connectivity I have used reference "mysql.data" dll.

After the deployment of using WINE above setup(exe & dll file) goes in "Program Files\MyApp\SachinSetup" folder structure in the Ubuntu 9.10 and setup shortcut goes on the Desktop.

Please provide me some solution.


Thanks in advance.

Sachin.

I have opened it from shell, I got following error:

sachin@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sh TestApp.exe
TestApp.exe: 1: MZ����@���: not found
TestApp.exe: 18: @: not found
TestApp.exe: 18: .sdata�: not found
TestApp.exe: 18: @B: not found
TestApp.exe: 18:
��AK

00: not found
TestApp.exe: 19: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


I have checked with mono project but it support ASP.NET application and for windows application it support only for few controls.

Is there any alternative for the same.

If yes please let me know.


Thanks in advance.

Sachin.

No, there isn't.

And you're trying to run a Windows executable as a shell script. As stated before, Windows executables do not run under Linux, ever. If you've set it up as a Wine application, you need to run it under Wine.

If you want a true, Linux application, you'll have to write it in a language that's portable, and recompile it under Linux.
