Wine programs not opening

Re: Wine programs not opening

Alt+F2 -> konsole, and then:

$ cd path_to_EXE_file
$ wine program_name.exe

Observe the output from wine in Konsole to see what is happening.

I updated the last post probably the same time you sent that last supply. Here is what is in konsole and the install hangs up at this point.

me@Acer:~/Downloads$ wine iamfx4setup.exe
fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\Program Files\\Metatrader 4 by IamFX\\sounds\\alert.wav") stub

What are the names of the EXE files in the folder?

LiveUpdate.exe
MetaEditor.exe
MetaLang.exe
terminal.exe
Uninstall.exe

Re: Wine programs not opening

There is a rather ugly solution for Metatrader here. It seems to assume that you have already successfully installed Metatrader in Windows on the same computer.

There is reason to believe that Metatrader may not run with current versions of Wine though.

It does not work with versions 1.29 and above. (did not test every version)

With 1.1.33 it crashes when tryng to change indicator settings.

Yet to find a major annoyance that inhibited use of the program, with versions 1.1.28 and below.

What version of Wine are you running?

$ wine --version
wine-1.1.35

1.1.35

Is there a way to get an earlier version?

Re: Wine programs not opening

There is no guarantee that using an older version of Wine will enable you to install and run Metatrader successfully.

On my Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala system:

$ lsb_release -d
Description:  Ubuntu 9.10
$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine

How did you install Wine 1.1.35 on your system?

How did you install Wine 1.1.35 on your system?

I installed it with Synaptic.

Re: Wine programs not opening

I installed some older versions of wine including 1.1.28 which is supposed to work with metatrader but still no change. Any other ideas?

Re: Wine programs not opening

Nope, sorry.

Unless someone else can help you could take your query to the Wine forum
