For various reasons, you may find yourself having to run a Windows program on Linux. It may be that there is no version for Linux, that the version for Windows is better or more professional ... or simply your favorite. It may also be that you need to use that program because it is the "standard" of the industry you work in or because no Linux program supports the type of files or documents created with your Windows program on another computer. |
Introduction
Before starting with the instructions, I think it is necessary to make a brief reflection: once you install Linux, there are many ways to run Windows applications, there is even the possibility of installing Windows in a virtual machine, which you can run directly desde Linux.
However, Wine is NOT an emulator, as its name says (Wine Is Not an Emulator, hence its acronym). This means that a Windows application that you run with WINE could, in fact there are several recorded cases, run much lighter on Linux than on Windows.
On the other hand, although in some cases it may be convenient to create the happy virtual machine and install our copy of Windows and then our program in it, this can also be a problem. First of all, because of the enormous amount of resources (disk space, memory and processor) that this process would consume. Second, Windows is not free software, and to install it, you are supposed to have a genuine version. Otherwise, you wouldn't be escaping the patent problem with Windows.
To learn a little more about Wine, I recommend you read its Documentation, Wiki, How-To for Beginners and the document «Debunking Common Myths Related to Wine«.
Install Wine
In Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install wine
In Fedora:
yum -y install wine
In the download section you can find the latest Wine packages for other popular Linux distributions such as Mandriva, Slackware, Debian, OpenSUSE, etc.
Run and install Windows programs
Once installed, Wine will run when you double-click on any .EXE file. In addition, it will allow you to install programs, as if you were in Windows and it will put the shortcuts in the main menu under the category «Wine».
Despite what many people believe, Wine is used not only to run "simple" Windows applications, but even complex games. What's more, it has been proven that terrible games like Sim 3, Half Life 2, Command & Conquer 3, Star Wars: Jedi Knight, or important suites like Microsoft Office work perfectly.
It won't let me run my program / installer! Sniff sniff…
As I suppose you are aware, Linux is a system that is managed through privileges granted to users. This allows only certain users to do certain things. The same goes for files. By default, no .EXE file downloaded from the internet is "executable", until the user indicates otherwise.
If when trying to run the file you see this message:
Then all you have to do is right click on the file. I chose the Properties option. Once there, go to the Permissions tab and enable the Allow the file to run as a program option:
I have other problems running my program
In case the application in question does not run as it should or has problems, I recommend entering the Wine Applications Database to see the comments of other users and their experience running that program using the different versions of Wine. Each installed and tested program has a ranking. If the program you are looking for does not appear in the list, it is a good opportunity to collaborate and upload your impressions.
Uninstall programs in Wine
This is very easy. Go to Applications> Wine> Uninstall Wine software.
From there you will be able to easily remove the installed program. You can also install new programs using this tool, although it may be easier simply by double clicking on the installer in your file explorer or directly from the download window of your internet explorer.
Where is everything installed?
By default, all programs will try to install themselves on your C disk. The question is, what is my C disk? Where are all the files corresponding to the Windows applications installed with Wine actually stored? The answer is simple: ~ / .wine / drive_c. That is, in your home there is a hidden folder called .wine in which all the files on your disk C are stored. Actually, as you can see, it is simply a folder that Wine calls "Disk C".
Remember that you can always install your programs in other locations. This is especially useful if you have little space on the disk or partition where you have Linux or your Home folder installed.
Configure Wine
I am afraid of viruses
It is not fair that Windows users get all the fun, as everyone knows Linux viruses practically do not exist. Some time ago, there was a kind of experiment to run windows viruses on Linux with wine.
5 of the most harmful viruses tested (Klez, My Doom, Sobig, SCO Worm, Some Fool) and the results are not very encouraging, none were able to spread and also only one could affect the linux operating system itself.
In summary, you do not lose security by running Windows applications using Wine, on the contrary, you will be much safer than if you ran that same application in Windows.
wine tricks
Sometimes installing a Windows application on Linux using Wine can be a difficult task, especially since some of them require external libraries.
wine tricks is a quick and easy script to download and install these redistributable libraries that are sometimes needed for everything to work wonderfully.
How do you install?
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winericks
How do I run it?
Once you have obtained Winetricks you can use it by typing in the terminal:
sh wine tricks
If you run it without parameters, a winetricks screen shows a GUI with a list of available packages. If you know the name of the package (s) you want to install, you can add the name (s) to the Winetricks command line and immediately start the installation process. For example,
sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6
This will install both corefonts and vcrun6 packages.
Wine Doors
Wine Doors is an excellent little program that allows you to install very popular Windows applications easily and without problems. This saves you from having to google to see what configuration to use, etc.
To install it, you just have to go to the download section of the official website and choose the package that works best for your Linux distribution.
An example: uTorrent using Wine
No i use Transmission or the incredible Deluge. If you didn't try them, please do so. But, just to show what a Windows application looks like in Ubuntu using Wine, here is a screenshot using uTorrent.
WHERE IS THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD
There is no download link! It is through the use of your terminal that you will do everything.
Hello, can I install a webcam and its drivers in wine? is that only that camera is compatible with window XP, Me, 2000, and 98 the model of the camera is slim usb2 videocam. I already tried to connect it in Ubuntu 14.04 and I could not just turn on the red light the only one that Ubuntu detects is my integrated camera of the lap but I want to connect my external genius camera I can do it with wine
Hello! Look, in my experience, the problem is not your webcam, but Wine does not bring support for USB devices ... there are some ways to support some devices but they are not easy.
Can't use the webcam directly on Linux (without running a windows app with wine)? It seems to me that the solution is more on that side ...
A hug! Paul.
the safest thing is that your Web-Cam works plug & play in your Ubuntu, so you do not need any installation CD. just try to run it with the latest Ubuntu Version 16.04 or 17.04 (which has a fairly updated kernel).
In the event that it does not work with these current versions, I recommend resigning ... since the device is very old (if it did not receive support in linux until now, I think it never will).
On the other hand, as you mentioned, the webcam also lost support for the current versions of Windows, so it may be time to buy a new Webcam.
Thus, for the next Webcam purchase, keep in mind to acquire a Webcam with Linux support… which will guarantee that your device will have guaranteed support for several decades to come.
HELLO FRIENDS HOW MANY ARE FOLLOWERS OF THIS SITE
Hello, I ask you a question. I have mandriva 2011 and wine 1.3.2.4 is installed. I can't run any application. nor does the wine open. It may be that the package is not installed correctly? What do you recommend me to try?
Hello, install wine, I want to run a prog called esword and I get the following error: "run-time error" 429 ": activex component can't create objet". Can someone tell me how to fix it. Thank you
hello I have problems in ubuntu with this error ... Error: 429 - ActiveX component can't create object can you help me please. I don't know what happened, soz new to this.
or visual studio, I know that sounds funny, but is it possible?
or visual studio I know that sounds funny, but it is possible.
You can emulate a program like sonar 8.
I am very new to linox, I have fedora 17 and installed wine to open internet explorer since I need it to open a particular page, but it is not clear to me how to use it, you can explain something like "how to open internet explorer in wine for dummies" hahaha they would save my life thanks
you can download mozilla and run it directly on linux
Thank you very much, your explanation is very clear
You're welcome! Hug!
Pablo.
I loved your guide, thank you very much for sharing your experience 😀
Thanks, it helped me with the Winetricks installation, this part was missing in the wine program.
When I hit the permissions tab, it tells me that it is read-only system (CDROM) and I can't install it. What I do?
Hello Alejandro! I would tell you to try the solution that I give in the section «It won't let me run my program / installer! Sniff, sniff ... »of this post.
Of course it is possible. What's more, my experience tells me that they work better than non-portable programs.
Hug! Paul.
Hello, could you tell me if a portable program can be run in wine .. Thank you very much
One question, I have xubuntu and it won't let me run it, but I don't see the option to allow the file to run as a program, the file is autorun.exe
Hi Pablo, thanks again.
Yes, if I have done this what you say and also the permissions as far as the file dialog box gives. Tell you also that wine opens for me and in the tab »C» is where I try to open the file (I have installed the opensuse on an external hard drive and the win-XP, on the netbook hard drive), but it tells me that there is no windows program installed to open the file (the internet explorer has managed to open it, that is). The problem I have is that I need to install the drivers and controllers of the netbook because, for example, the wif does not work for me in suse (even if the options of the netbook CD, it automatically detects the installed operating system, including linux, but the CD does not run I can't even open it.) Nothing else at the moment.
A greeting.
You tested by right clicking on the file and choosing the option to open with… Wine.
Cheers!! Paul.

Thank you very much it helped me a lot, I was finally able to use wine with some programs that gave me problems
That good! I'm very glad it served!
Thanks x comment!
Ahh! Now I understand what's wrong ...
The theme is like this:
With Wine you can run simple windows applications without problems. Now, when it comes to running more complex applications, things are a bit more complicated and it is natural that this is the case. To run Word, it is not enough to run the Word .exe that you have on the Windows partition (basically because Word runs a lot of other things at the same time and saves settings in the Windows Registry, etc.). What to do then? Well, you have to install Word using Wine and then, yes, run Word.
In other words, Wine is not going to help you run the applications that you already have installed on the Windows partition (unless they are very simple or so-called "portable" applications). What you have to do is install the application (the .EXE installer will work fine with WINE) and install the program as if it were a Windows application ... only that it will install it in your / home / your_user folder /.wine.
Was the difference clear? I hope I have been as "didactic" as possible.
Cheers! Paul.

As you well know there is a utility for MS WOS called daemon tools that mounts disk images and emulates security systems, but does not work with wine - that I know - Do you know if there is an alternative to daemon tools for wine that EMULATES THE SYSTEMS OF SECURITY?
Mmmm ... not really. There are programs that do something similar to Daemon Tools, but I'm not sure they emulate security systems. What exactly do you mean when you talk about "security systems"?
To the options to emulate Safedisk in its different versions and others
that come in the daemon menu, which now I can't see because I've been 6
months without MS WOS even in emulation.
Come on, if you download a pirate ISO of a game, even if you mount it with
furius, acetone, by commands or whatever will give you an error of
security unless there is a good crack who directly skips it.
I suppose that a web or section dedicated to how to play with ISO images of
games in wine, with the precaution of always starting with «making a
ISO of your original copy »even though we all know it's a lie, it would have
much success among Maqueros and Linuxeros. That is if you avoid giving links to
torrents directly, that, in any case, if it is difficult for you to do the
ISO copy of your original can be found on another website of
backup downloads.
Of course, finding a gamer, a wine player, or a cracker must
be relatively difficult.
It is easier to directly hack MS WOS and games.

Wow, I'm falling in love with linux, lol XD, and it's serious. Here we go and let the adventure begin. Hello Linux 🙂
Hello friend, I'll tell you.
I've been in Linux for less than 1 week and I'm half hung up, (I went from win7 to linux mint). I've been reading your tutorial, it's very good, but I want to know more about this Wine program, I need to install the microsoft office, I followed your steps, but I'm halfway there, well that's what I say, maybe I'm less than halfway there.
I went through wine tricks and I found office 2007 and installed it (according to me) xd, but I can't find it, I went here: but I looked for several folders and I didn't find anything, I hope your prompt response and that you guide me because, in linux issues I am a newbie, thanks.
Today, my recommendation would be that you try PlayOnLinux. It includes a series of scripts to install some Windows games and apps ... I think Office is among them ...
Hug! Paul.
But where is the dico c

Hello,
I would like to recover and reuse the Lotus Organizer 5.0 agenda on Ubuntu.

Any ideas to make it work on Ubuntu 10.04?
Thank you.
Hello,
I try to recover and continue using the Lotus Organizer 5.0 agenda on Ubuntu 10.04 with Wine.

Very good guide. Pretty practical. After installing Wine every time you run a new application, download the necessary libraries to run it. But it doesn't always work for all applications.

excellent guide has worked wonders for me
Wine is rubbish, I try to install an application and he opens two windows by himself and then complains that there is already an installer running and that he closes the other one, if I try to close one of the windows, Wine closes ... Pure rubbish, it is better look for an alternative application in Linux and you forget about these problems.
I did everything, but nothing works in lubuntu .... linux
