[SOLVED] How can I run windows apps on Linux?

[marianogedisman]

I'm about to try Wine. But I'm scared it starts vomiting errors like any other VM app.

What do you recommend? I bought a nice Nokia N95 but of course, applications are only for Windows.

Well, just like I thought... I've installed Wine but I can't find it.

How did you install Wine? If it's truly installed it's in there somewhere...

Have you saved the Nokia executables to your machine?

Somewhere out there you should have a wine directory... open the CLI, cd to the wine directory, type in

wine /path to .exe/%program%.exe

as an example... I run a windows only softphone through wine (starphone.exe)

I have saved the executable file to my wine directory... cd to wine directory and type:

wine starphone.exe

Hey man.
I've used YaST.



But, OMG! I've found it. Hehe, you were right, there was a usr/bin/ file to run. Well, thanks a lot, since you mentioned it I've realised.

Cheers.
