Windows apps installation issues

It seem really straight forward and my wine version thanks to @Aravisian is 6.0
So I'm gonna jump to step 'b.'

Playonlinux wasn't installed for some reason...installing it..

I still get the error 'Runtime Error (at -1:0):

And then I tried another anothe installation using 32bit option and I got 'Access violation at address 00000000'

What's weird is Studio One for example was working when I first installed ZorinOS light

DOW shouldn't give an access violation. If it does then reinstall Wine - POL is just a front-end, the problem lies with how Wine is installed. I've played Soulstorm, DOW II, Gothic Armada, using POL - no problems with any of them either on install or when running them.

As for the other applications, try searching the net for "Wine access violation" to see what results you get.
Also try asking here: GamersOnLinux

Hello All.

Im new here and in Linux.
Im trying to install Winbind and used the following solutions

  • Synaptic Package Manager
  • Command line
    Couldn t install Winbind in either way.
    When I try to install Office 2010 with wine and Play on Linux, it crashes always.
    Please, can someone advise on how to proceed ?
    Thank you and regards,

Jean-Pierre.

What steps have you taken so far?

what method did you use to install Wine and did you add any repositories to do so?

Hello Aravisian.

I installed wine with Play on Linux and
tried to install Winband with the help of Synaptic Package Manager
Tried also to install Winband using the Command line with the instruction sudo apt-get install winbind
If I go to the Software Centre and I search for Winband I don t find it.
If you need aditional information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Winband or winbind?

There's a winbind in synaptics;
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems,
providing support for cross-platform file sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X,
and other Unix systems. Samba can also function as a domain controller
or member server in both NT4-style and Active Directory domains.

This package provides winbindd, a daemon which integrates authentication
and directory service (user/group lookup) mechanisms from a Windows
domain on a Linux system.

Winbind based user/group lookups via /etc/nsswitch.conf can be enabled via
the libnss-winbind package. Winbind based Windows domain authentication can
be enabled via the libpam-winbind package.

winbind

When running the command; sudo apt install winbind
What output do you get?

This says that Winbind is Fully installed.

You might remove Play On Linux and Wine, completely.
Once removed, install wine with

sudo apt install zorin-windows-app-support

after reinstalling wine and play on linux and trying to install office 2010, I received the following error message
Error in FS_Check
The following file is located on a FAT32 filesystem.
It might prevent wine from working

had the same error message in the past

Might_be_a_Penguin suggests the following:

Open Play On Linux

Click on the Tools drop down menu

Open PlayOnLinuxConsol

When the console opens type: POL_Config_Write NO_FSCHECK TRUE

Hit enter and close the console.

You should now be able to install windows files using Play On Linux since this disables the FS Check.

I do not use WINE, so am not sure myself, but please let me know if this works.

Hello...now got the following error messade

Error in POL_Wine

You may get more adept help on Wine on the Wine Forums.

I am not brushing you off; rather, there are more knowledgeable people on WINE whereas I am not one of them.

So Zorin Lite is working for me and after almost a year in now buying the proper Zorin in like a month's time;
I wanna run (via Wine) Cubase 8 so I can output surround sound bounces but when starting Cubase 8, I get the ERROR:'DWM composition is not running.Please switch to an Aero theme.'

My question,Is the DWM installed on Zorin going to help me get past this error?
