Run EXE file

Huamin · 08-10-2016, 11:39 PM

Hi,
What is the way to run one EXE file (created on Windows), within Red hat? Is this possible?

Install wine it may work with your program.

Hi:

Wine allows you to run many Windows programs on Linux.
Installing Wine can help.

I've never used Wine so I can't give you the details; sorry.
Good luck-

Let's say that the file is "your.exe"
Check this file in your terminal:

Code:

file your.exe

If you can see "...DOS executable...." than you need DOSBox. Otherwise, what you need is Wine.

The exact same way as you ASKED BEFORE, FOUR YEARS AGO:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-file-924927/

Please, try to show at least some effort of your own. This question has been asked and answered on this very site a LOT, and on Google even more.

Do not try to run any EXE under RedHat or any other Linux. That's my recommendation.

We look forward to the update 4 years from now.

Any advice to this?

[root@CentOS65x64 huamin]# sudo yum list wine*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

You need to add the epel repo eg

Code:

cat epel.repo
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
priority=30

but you'll need to install/setup https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManag...Yum/Priorities first to protect your system.

There is winetricks and playonlinux. I use playonlinux.

Huamin · 08-12-2016, 04:55 AM

Many thanks.
Chrism,
Where is that file, as I get this?

[root@CentOS65x64 /]# ls -l epel*.repo
ls: cannot access epel*.repo: No such file or directory

..did you TRY to look this up?? Much like this very thread, where you're asking how to run an exe file, even though you've asked this same question previously, and obviously didn't search this forum and/or Google (as the 'Question Guidelines" link) indicates you should, before posting questions. Especially a duplicate, as this is.

Again, as said by others...don't run Windows programs on Linux. What program is this?? Have you looked for a Linux equivalent?

John VV · 08-12-2016, 01:15 PM

or other than the first hit as above

did you look on the cent wiki FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS !

https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRe...s/Repositories

also install and CONFIGURE !!! "yum-plugin-priorities"
the link is on the page above
https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManag...Yum/Priorities
