how to make Bioedit work on linux mint?? anyone can help me?

I would advise following this guide to installing bioedit: http://www.wine-reviews.net/application ... -wine.html

thank you! but now i can't install MDAC 2.5 sp3..... ''the version of windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install'' KB927779 setup error

Since the guide is 5 years old, there have been changes. MDAC is now version 2.8 SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=5793. According to winehq.org, MDAC 2.8 SP1 works properly with LM 13, but there is no reports of it working yet with LM14.

I hope the new version still works in WINE, I didn't find any newer guides. Bioedit is now version 7.1.5 from the original posters, here: http://www.mbio.ncsu.edu/BioEdit/bioedit.html and has not been tested or reported to winehq.org since 7.1.3 and Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10.

Thank you, MDAC 2.8 sp1 worked fine and the installation has been completed but when I run bioedit it says "file not found". i have linux mint maya edition (13)

If it is a wine application, then it exits under /home/.wine
--or you can simply search for the file name with your file manager or locate in a terminal, it will find the hidden (.wine folder) and the location of that file name You may also want to consider a wine front end which may make managing wine installed applications easier

some wine info worth checking..
