Wine is in there somewhere because when using context menu on a .jpg I get the option to 'Open with Wine application'.
I also have Wine internet Explorer as an option in this menu.
But I cannot find the program. I wish to run Windows 10 or 7 Photozoom Pro. I think Wine may not run W10 on Linux but not sure.
Thanks for any advice.

You need a virtual machine to run another OS. Download and install VirtualBox, don't install from the software manager.

Wine will run one version of Photozoom Pro very well, the remaining versions will have some issues.

You can find wine in Synaptic (via the main menu). I install Playonlinux, which brings in wine/winetricks/anything needed, so am not sure which individual things to recommend if at any point you want to see if an app runs via Playonlinux ... you can check WineHQ about how certain apps run and some pointers, or see if Playonlinux has the app in it's inbuilt list (I can't see Photozoom, unfortunately).JoHubb wrote: ⤴Mon Apr 23, 2018 3:09 am Wine is in there somewhere because when using context menu on a .jpg I get the option to 'Open with Wine application'.

A better way to test; in a terminal:
Code: Select all
wine --version
Probably a BAD ideas to use it!I also have Wine internet Explorer as an option in this menu.
Wine won't run "win 10" - I have Photozoom installed and it works great in wine. (Edit: I get "program error" sometimes...see below).But I cannot find the program. I wish to run Windows 10 or 7 Photozoom Pro.
Others have mentioned the lack of menu entries for wine (I don't really use menus, so dunno about that), but it's quite easy to make your own simple scripts to make wine/windows programs act like linux programs.
Run "Photozoom" :
$ cat bin/pzoom
Code: Select all
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/pgms/PhotoZoom/Pzoom7.exe
exit 0
In the Photozoom directory I also did
Code: Select all
ln -s "PhotoZoom Pro 7.exe" Pzoom7.exe
Also note the path is "drive_c/pgms", NOT "/program files". By default they install under "Program Files", yuckl!

Re: Cannot find Wine in mate
Thanks for all the interesting posts. I now have Wine running and am using Photozoom successfully. It is a bit jerky when re-sizing photos but otherwise it seems to be functioning normally like in Windows.
For those like me who do not know, Wine has its own .win directory - find it with the file browser. Within this there is a 'fake' C drive. In my system Photozoom.exe can be found here: C:/Program Files
I have a copy of the Photozoom.exe file on the desktop and just open it with a double-click any time I need it. It may not be elegant, but it works. It would be neat to have it opening photos off the context menu all the same!
