Help installing a windows application with Wine

[aarelovich]

The app in question is LTSpice.exe which is a circuit simulator that is free. It has worked on wine for as long as I can remember (so that is not the issue) but I always have a lot of trouble installing it.

The thing is I've had some experience with Centos 6. But I'm new to 7, which is what I'm using right now.

I've installed wine with yum and the tried double clicking the .exe file (nothing) and tried doing:

Code: Select all

wine LTSpice.exe

from the console.

I get this:

Code: Select all

fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"MountMgr" failed to start: 2
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\gstuarts2\Downloads\LTspiceIV.exe

.

I'm assuming this is because I need the 32 bit version of wine. However I cannot find how to get the i386 architecture to appear from yum.
In Centos 6 I would have wine and wine.i386 or similar. But not right now.

Can anyone help me please?

I have the same problem, did you ever get past it? Or, did you maybe find a suitable alternative?

BTW, I think your invocation of "wine" is correct for 32-bit (64-bit would be wine64).

You can search for all packages with wine via:

Code: Select all

yum search wine

And install the 32bit via:

Code: Select all

yum install wine.i686

Note:The package could be named differently.This is just an example.
