Currently I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64 Bit on my laptop and I want to install some Windows programs with Wine (Dreamweaver CS5/Starcraft II etc) but these programs require the 32Bit version of Wine to work even being in a 64Bit environment... I'm a Fedora user most of the time and in that distro installing 32Bit versions of apps inside of a 64Bit system is never a problem, but didn't find a way to do that on Ubuntu.

I tried to open some .exe files with wine, like Minecraft team extreme. It ran, but it was lagging too much! How do I run an .exe file without Windows/DOS/Wine?

Do you have tips or a guide how to install Ubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC?  I have found some (older) information, but I wonder if this is still valid. And it looks very "unfriendly".

Hello I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 and I've got the .debs of the softwares I had been using in Oneiric. I wanna install them all!! But the problem is I can't install them one by one [due to shortage of time and patience].  Is there any command to install all the .debs placed in a single folder once and for all!!

I copied all of the files like in  tutorial, but I have no luck launching PS. I also tried running the installer with WINE, but needed AIR and it wouldn't connect to the adobe servers.  Also, I (think I) removed all of the libraries I installed with winetricks (except for the VC++ ones) and deleted the files I copied from my Windows machine. This is all perfectly safe, right?

I'm totally new to Ubuntu. I've installed version 16.04 and I'm having trouble finding my way around. I've tried just about all possible ways to make Ubuntu look like windows 7. Every way I tried was missing something, Is there a way to make version 16.04 be like win7?

I need to use two different Windows applications, one works well with Wine 1.4 but not on Wine 1.5 and the other application works well with the later version but not with the former.  Is there a way to have both versions of Wine installed, specifying which application should run with which Wine version?

I need Silverlight installed on my Ubuntu system, so that I can see some of the Microsoft websites(mainly videos).  Are there any alternatives to Silverlight in Ubuntu? If so, what are they and how do I install them?

I just formatted my laptop and got rid of Windows 7. Yay ;-)  Either way, Wine is version 1.3.28 here, and I need it to update (there are some bugfixes) for my game so I need a more recent version. This is the version I got from the Ubuntu software manager. How do I get a more recent version or Wine version 1.4?  I've already added the repo into my repository, but still no updates.  Thanks in advance.

I am trying to install Microsoft Office 2013 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32-bit). I have downloaded an iso file of said product and installed wine1.4-i386 using the apt-get command on the terminal.  The question is I don't know the steps how to install it. I can't get much tutorials on Internet how MSOffice2013 can be installed on Ubuntu.  If any versions of wine isn't an option, what other options can be used to run Microsoft Office 2013?

My current preferred C++ environment is the free and largely excellent Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. From time to time I have sent release .exe files to other people with pleasing results. However recently I made the disturbing discovery that the pleasing results were based on more luck that I would like. Attempting to run one of these programs on an old (2001 vintage, not scrupulously updated) XP box gave me nothing but a nasty "System cannot run x.exe" (or similar) message.  Some googling revealed that with this toolset, even specifying static linking results in a simple hello-world.exe actually relying on extra .dll files (msvcm80.dll etc.). An incredibly elaborate version scheming system (manifest files anyone?) then will not let the .exe run without exactly the right .dll versions. I don't want or need this stuff, I just want an old fashioned self contained .exe that does nothing but lowest common denominator Win32 operations and runs on any old win32 OS.  Does anyone know if its possible to do what I want to do with my existing toolset ?  Thank you.

I want to use Windows 7 or 8 but I don't know to install a software like VirtualBox which we have to do with the use of terminal. I don't want to use Windows as a main OS so I want to use it in VirtualBox. Can you tell me how to install downloaded files in Ubuntu. I once installed java runtime but don't know the meaning of the lines which I have written in terminal, I just did as the blog posted by a man says.

I know how to , but I'd like to add a bunch of different extensions and avoid the tedious job of adding every single one. Is there a command line tool or registry key I can use to accomplish this?

I want to update my VS Code so tried multiple option in doing so all result in something like this  sudo dpkg -i code_1.45.1-1589445302_amd64.deb    martin@martin:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install code Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done code is already the newest version (1.45.1-1589445302). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.     But when i check in the VS Code about I see.    I needed to upgrade my VS Code because some extensions doesnt activate. The reason I think is because VS Code is not latest.    No matter how many times I reload them they dont activate  UPDATE:  martin@martin:~$ umake --list-installed  visual-studio-code: Visual Studio focused on modern web and cloud     path: /home/martin/.local/share/umake/ide/visual-studio-code  martin@martin:~$ snap list | grep -i code martin@martin:~$ flatpak list | grep -i code martin@martin:~$

Was asked by a new Ubuntu user - who also wants to learn about programming - what he could use to run BASIC code. He was working through a BASIC book before trying out Ubuntu, and he'd like to continue without having to switch back to Windows.  It looks like there are a few BASIC packages in the standard repositories, as well as projects like Mono which may include some kind of BASIC support.   What would be a good recommendation from the standard repositories - or from a deb package - for someone learning the basics of BASIC and new to Ubuntu?

Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.  I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.  So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?
