If you cannot even get the wine version, then something is wrong with your installation. I recommend removing wine and reinstalling the latest version. Please follow the steps below, exactly in order:
- Removing wine (in terminal):
sudo apt remove wine
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
sudo apt remove --purge wine
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoremove - Installing wine:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common wget
wget -qO - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable - Check version:
wine --versionif the output isn’t 5.0.3 then stop and let us know what it is showing. If it is 5.0.3 then try to run Plarium Play again. If Plarium Play does not run then go to step 4, otherwise stop here. - Install winetricks:
sudo apt install winetricksand once that is complete,winetricks dotnet452. Now again try Plarium Play.
Finally, I strongly recommend using PlayOnLinux to install and run all your Wine applications ( sudo apt install playonlinux ). You still have to go through all the above steps first but PlayOnLinux is very good at managing applications and I have found it helpful. Also, if your game installation still doesn’t work, you can try switching from 32 bit installation option to 64 bit option on PlayOnLinux and usually that makes applications work.
