Picasa - copy .exe file from LM17 to LM19

Post by slinger1953 »

Question, I think I still have Picasa on LM17, on a drive somewhere, could I copy that to LM19 as I cannot download it any more?
or is there any way that I can transfer that programme from one drive to another?

Thank you

Hello, slinger1953.

The German computer magazine Chip offers Picasa 3.9 for downloading still: Picase 3.9
Download link: picasa39-setup.exe

In case clicking the download link directly should not work, go to the Picasa 3.9 page on Chip (link above) and navigate to the Chip download from there yourself.

As this is a Windows setup file, you need to have Wine 3.0 installed on Mint 19 in order to be able to install Picasa 3.9.

Whether simply backing up the old Picasa application folder on Mint 17 and restoring it on Mint 19 will give a usable Picasa installation, I do not know. Never tried. You still would need to have Wine 3.0 on Mint 19.

HTH,
Karl

You can definitely copy it. It might even work. I'm guessing you're talking about a windows version in wine: if so, copy the whole directory it's installed into, and you'll have more luck.
as I cannot download it any more?
Internet search:

Code: Select all

download picasa
has plenty of working links, including 3.9 windows versions and a 3.0.x version .deb file for ubuntu.
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?
