How to install WWB (Windows) under Wine

Post by alex4orly »

I moved from the Windows version to the Linux QAEWB but it seems i still need to get back to the Windows version of some of my older website projects.

I do not manage to install it, I get the following error : Error in POL_Wine

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Unfortuately, I do not have any experience with WINE, so I cannot help you with this.

OK, how about VMWARE with a Windows install in it?

Thanks

That should work because in that case a full version of Windows will be installed.

I was just wondering if anyone here in the forum tried it?

Thanks

I had good results using Crossover under Linux.
I confess I haven't tried it with the last few Qnewb releases.

Hi Brian,

Sorry for my ignorance - what is cross over?
I am now installing VirtualBox and downloaded a Windows 10 iso

So?
Cheers

https: //www .codeweavers. com/ crossover (take the spaces out!)

Codeweavers are one of the driving forces behind the Wine project. Their product 'Crossover' has versions for MacOS, Linux and Chromebooks that allow Windows programs to run at full speed without needing any 'real' windows installed at all. It works on almost all programs and gets regular updates. Each Windows application runs inside it's own virtual space and you tell it which version you want to emulate from XP to Win10, 32 or 64 bit.
There is a trial version and a 50% discount on annual subscription to updates. The program continues to run when the subscription ends but updates cease.

I have no commercial connection with Codeweavers.

Brian.

Hi Brian,

I learn something new each day, thanks for that.
I have installed VirtualBox and now after installing Windows 10, I have WWB in it.

I am running a weekly Technology group discussion in the village and many members attending ask me to show things on Windows, that was one extra reason for me to get an actual Windows OS running.

Thanks again
Alex

Hello,

I remember being successful in installing the software under WINE' I even informed Pablo about this. Under Linux, you should unzip the Linux software and click on the executable file to run. I had problems with this, but v. 8 starts.

Thanks for that.

I have in the meantime, installed the Oracle VirtualBox, then installed Windows 10 inside, and within it I have the WWB Windows version working just fine

Thank you
