good luck, hope this works for you
================
i recommend using the most updated version of wine. Since you installed wine 1.8, that the version you will be using(wine tricks will install wine - DON"T INSTAL A SPECIFIC WINE VERSION, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!).(... this is why winetricks was created!)... Wine has since released other updates (2.4 is curent atm).
Unfortunatley
My current work has me travel and access to the forum and the vm test bed is not fesiable (until after the holidays/my curent work schedule...).
YOU WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL WINE AND the SOFTWARE!
it is clear that there is miss under standing to my instruction form the other post.
so i will give you the lines one by one that you must run to get a good working version.
first we are purgeing hte system of wine(complety uninstall and removing all wine related files.
(this is due to 1. I don't know what config chages or wine realted problems that could be casueing the issue. 2. Guratee taht if you run these comands it will run HFS as if it was with your other VM)
***(make sure to copy the exact commands in this order):
Open mate terminal
become super user root via comand
sudo su
sudo apt-get remove --purge wine\*
sudo apt-get --purge remove wine
Close and restart the PC VM.
now open a standard user mate termainl (not SU)
(this is to remove the wine directiores form your curent user, this will also have to be done at the root level "SU")
rm -r "$HOME/.wine"
rm $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -r "$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine"
rm $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
IF you used the wine config and chaged location, you will have to remove that folder....
once again we will log into super user root:
sudo su
rm -r "$HOME/.wine"
rm $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -r "$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine"
rm $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
Now we clean up the ubuntu packages to make sure we are geting the lates and a clean version...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
----------------------------------
At this point wine and everything wine related will be gone.
You stated that you are runnig a 32bit editon of ubuntu mate:
if you are runing a 64 bit addition, you will have to add the arc type to run 32 bit application:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
*I recommend ruining this command to verify that you are, or have a i386 (pc x86 OS) architec.
and run the update procedures
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
-------------------------------------------
*EVERYTHING SHOULD BE RUN VIA ROOT AT THIS MOMENT...
At this point all available ubuntu updates and packages are ready
so we will start with the required packages first
*due to issues form ubuntu 7, and a bunch of wine updates, wine itself no longer instals theses optional packages, but will grab the dependents only to run there package. These commands will grab the other packages and will be required to install winetrick, with will install wine.
first we insall the wine development pacakges:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
then we insatll the stage for wine itslef
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging
Finaly we insall the most uptodate verion of wine:
sudo apt-get install winehq-staging
The ordering and one by one line install is important here to not make a conflict.
when done, the packages will complain that you will not need the wine-hq devel, and one other deveopment package.
*everythign to run a wine (windows emulated state) will be installed at this point
all of witch can be found at the wine hq website:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu------------------------------
finaly we build wine via winetricks:
sudo apt-get install winetricks
before we run wine tricks, we want to install some wine reequirments
install the netframe work! "mono"
sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc
install gecko (this will help HFS ALOT!)
https://wiki.winehq.org/Geckosudo apt-get install wine-gecko
these are some barebones requirments to most windoes based programs.
geko emualtes info that was internet explore, and helps in dealing with windows side tcp transaction. withc help hfs on a linux build
....
-------------------
at this moment, with out specify a wine version, wine is installed, and needs to be configure
open winetricks (either via standard user termainl non root) or via the aplication menu
install mon, geko, (esentialy say yes to all the popup)
-------------------------------
now downlaod HFS and tryi your test again.
I'm willing to bet its a wine issue, there are some many way to install an application and wine is very fickle these days.
HFS as stated via rejeto was orginaly created for windows xp, so i recomend a wine configuration for winodws xp, but i have found that win 7 and below work fine.
