I am using Loki 0.4.1 on a 64-bit machine.
When I try to open an executable, or use a shell script that opens it, the system responds by saying that the given file does not exist. However, the output of ls and file --mime-typeshows that the file is there. This has happened several times with different executables.
Is there a way to fix this? I have tried editing the permissions, but it didn't help...
You're sure it has execution rights? (using ls -l would give more information).
$sudo chmod +x wine should give the file execution rights.
to run executable files on linux, you have to install wine
$ sudo apt install wine wine1.6 wine1.6-amd64
to check that it's installed run winecfg (a config windows should appear)
to run an executable file we run the command: $ wine file.exe
check Using_Wine
and one note: normally, a file can be launched by ./file if it has #!/bin/bash for bash scripts or #!/usr/bin/env python for python scripts ...
otherwise try: $ bash file ... or $ python file
$ winetricks xact vcrun2008 ... i think also that skyrim exist on steam... and steam can be installed on linux (check in the AppCenter)
