I've been trying to install the game the sims 3 for days now using guides I found via google but I can't manage to make it work.  My system details:     Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3317U CPU @ 1.70GHz × 4   Graphics: Intel® Ivybridge Mobile   Memory: 3.8 GiB   OS: 64-bit     I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, wine 1.7.27, and playonlinux 4.2.5, and the original DVD of the base game    The guide I used to try to install the game is  (it's a bit old).  At the end of the installation a few wine windows popped up saying there had been an error (without specifying what error).  Now on POL there are two items one is the Sims 2 and the other is the Sims 3 Launcher. If try to open the first nothing happens, if I try the second one it says:  a fatal error occurred. however, `mscorees.dll` could not be loaded to display the appropriate error message. please reinstall the .NET framework.   Could you help me figure out what to do to make the game work? Please explain step by step if possible.  Let me know if more information is needed.  ----EDIT  it's not a duplicate of that question, i have already tried the suggestions i found in the answers to that question. i think that my problem with the installation is caused by the fact i have 64-bit ubuntu and wine.  ----EDIT 2   marking my question as a duplicate even after i specified the problem i have is different from that question is very unhelpful.

I am running Ubuntu 13.04 on an iMac. I have all the specific requirements to play the game, as I have done on this mac before. I'm just wondering if it's possible to run it on Ubuntu?

I tried re-installing  it but it simply keeps giving me this error in a little window. When I close it, an identical error pops up some 3 seconds later without any new provocation.

I've seen this error a few times just now, it seems to only occur when I install an app through the Google Play web interface. Haven't seen it when installing apps directly from my mobile device. Device is quite new and has more than enough free disk space. Couldn't find anything on here yet about this specific error. After a retry it downloads without any problems, so while it is far from blocking, I do hope to get some insight on what is happening here. StackExchange only lists error 923 as an AndroidRuntime(923) error, but I don't see how that can be the cause here. Screenshot attached with error in Dutch.   Error - 'Game' could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)

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".

I have followed all the instructions on .  In particular, I have run the following commands: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'   The first three of the above seemed to work fine.  However, the last command gives me the following error: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.  I'm running Lubuntu 18.04.3 on a USB live stick.  (However, if I remember correctly, a couple days ago I got the exact same error on a normal hard disk Lubuntu 18.04.3 installation.) I've read that a lot of people get similar errors.  Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions online that worked. Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks! EDIT:  Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone.  I'll try them out later today. In the mean time, here's something I don't understand.  Ubuntu 18.04 has been around for almost two years now.  In all that time, surely somebody has successfully installed wine, right?  What did they do to get it working?

I would like to install Medieval II : Total War under wine. Everything goes well until I am prompted to install the second dvd-rom to finish the install.   No matter what path I supply to the installer it says setup can't find a file on the specified path or disk. I've tried the options shown for D and Z drives, /dev/sr0, /media/myname etc.  I've also had similar problems with Medal of Honour.  Can anyone help?

I want to run/install .exe files that require Windows 7 or higher in Wine on Ubuntu.   When I try to install a specific .exe file on Wine, it says      Windows version is not supported! You can install it in Windows 7 or higher.   How can I configure which Windows version (XP, Vista, 7, 8, ...) Wine emulates?

With me going it alone in development I only have limited resources at my disposal i.e one pc with which I develop and test the game. so I only know for certain my game works with that setup.  What options have I got in testing the game on the many different hardware/operating system combinations? Its a windows desktop game.

I would like to install Office 2015/365 on Ubuntu 15.04. I tried to install Office using Wine, but that did not work. Please note that I do not want virtualisation unless it has a -like behaviour, where application windows are treated like regular Ubuntu application windows by the system.

I've already installed Steam, but when I click on the program I get this message  ERROR- You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: not   I don't know what to install or even do.

I am trying to install  under Wine. The program setup continually requests proxy settings. My broker tells me this shouldn't happen, and is a problem on my end. Here is what I have tried to attempt to solve this error:   I have gone into Network settings and proxy is set to none. I have looked in Wine Regedit and proxy_enable is set to 0. I have checked the firewall settings on my modem. I have tried reinstalling wine. I have installed lib32nss-mdns I can log on to my modem in iexplore using the gateway ip but thats it I've set my DNS to 10.0.0.138 to reflect the gateway I've set up a 32 bit Wine prefix   How should I proceed in solving this?

I have seen other SuperUser questions on this topic:  |   However, all of the answers assume you have Windows 8 running.  I've already done a clean install of Ubuntu 13.04 on my new laptop, and I'm trying to set up a VM environment for those occasional programs that just absolutely refuse to run even with Wine.  I saw this image on another answer:     So it appears that the key should somehow be available via ACPI. However,  I've tried ls /proc/acpi and that turns up nothing useful as far as I can see, and acpitool isn't helping me at all.  How the heck can I get the product key out?  EDIT: I have tried running RW-Everything via Wine (the  program), but it is unable to 'install its driver'. So no dice there.

Hello fellow dwellers of askubuntu, as the title says I'm having difficulties with getting Steam to run properly. I think I have the solution but I am pretty incompetent with Ubuntu (just started using it the other day) so a step by step process would be unbelievably appreciated! Here are the links to what I think possible solutions are:  [1]   [2]   I've tried googling how to preform the solutions such as changing the alias/script for steam (no idea what that is) to -no-dwrite or launching with wine Steam.exe -no-dwrite. The dwrite seems to be the issue in all this but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do anything about it.  Any useful input is what I'm hoping for but for the brave soul who feels like typing a bit more, perhaps a step-by-step list of instructions starting from downloading Steam off the official website, would be my saving grace.  If there is any more info you guys need let me know and I'll of course be happy to oblige!

I'm having some problems getting Ubuntu to install. I'm running Windows XP Home (32bit) on an older Dell Dimension 2350 with 1GB ram, trying to install either Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32Bit) or 13.04 (32Bit) inside VirtualBox. Both versions of Ubuntu don't make it past the purple screen with the loading dots. When I change over to the "non-graphical" version, with the scrolling text, it starts to list a series of tests that are either [ok] or [fail]. There are only a few that fail, and my search on those indicates that they're not that important. There are a few settings for this VM that I've tried tweaking based on other searches for an answer (such as Enabling IO APIC, switching the Chipset to ICH9, changing the Video Memory size, Enabling 3D Acceleration, and Enabling PAE/NX. More or less, I get to the same point.  (Once I got to the screen with Desktop in the upper left corner, and the red-ish background. But an error came up that basically said there was an error, and that I could send off a report or hit cancel. I hit cancel, and instead of the installer coming up, nothing happened)  The last check that is run is "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility [ok], and a bunch of Starting [ok]s. Then I get a black screen, then a half purple half black screen graphical error. Sorta looks like snow, I don't know how else to describe it. After a while. That goes away and is replaced by a black screen again. Nothing else happens.    I like to think I'm fairly good at solving problems and following instructions, but I don't even know how to go about diagnosing this. Most of the solutions I've seen seem to involve entering things into a command line, but doesn't the OS have to be installed to be able to do that?  This is a for fun/learning experience project, so it's nothing too pertinent. But I would like to figure this out.
