The problem is, the latest version of Wine (7.17) works in a different way than previous versions. If you follow the directions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu, you will be successful. You can't use the stable branch as of this writing. I would go with
Code: Select all
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
Code: Select all
winecfg
Code: Select all
wine --version
Once you've done that, put whatever Windows apps you want to run in your /home folder. You can run them by right-clicking an choose run with wine(...). There is no .wine folder any more (if you've done a clean install or if you've purged Wine from your system. If you have a .wine folder, you can copy the apps over to /home or probably just run them as is.You can also run
Code: Select all
winefile
To sum up, the winehq directions work but you can't use Wine EXACTLY the way you used to. I'm about to try upgrading my MacBook Air from LM 20.3. May run into some headaches there. Anyway, hope this helps!
