How to run .bat files with Wine?

[kelp412]

---

Hello,
I am trying to run a windoze program with wine, but it is not a .exe file, but rather a .bat file. I tried

wcmd
bash: wcmd: command not found

So I tried

wineconsole

This window popped up but disappeared immediately, and the terminal was done running it! What is going on, and how do I fix it?

Thanks

It's called cmd now, not wcmd.

I tried

# cmd program_name.bat 
bash: cmd: command not found

so I searched for all files with "cmd" in the name, and got about 400. So after looking through the list, I decided to try

# /usr/lib/wine/cmd.exe.so program_name.bat 
Segmentation fault

So what is a "segmentation fault?"

First off, never run windows programs as root,
it's not safe! Only run them as a non-privileged user

It looks like 'cmd' isn't installed so you can run it
directly from the commandline, but should be able to do
wine cmd foo.bat

As for your other question, see
Segmentation fault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's a long name for 'crash'.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

and then "wine cmd.exe" then try to run your batch file from there,

I run debian so your directories might be a bit different but you get the idea
