Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
Hi again packwood, If there's a particular program you're interested in which you can't get to run, open a specific thread about it and maybe someone can figure out how. Winetricks is actually a script, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks , which means a ...

Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
Were you able to advise on the GUI/zenity issue and the crashing of Winetricks?
I know portableapps.com well and use a bunch of them in a folder on a Windows laptop for convenience and the lack of install issues. Now I must try them in Wine.

Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
@mikewalsh Great help, that's got my Wine portable working and my Windows executable runs fine apart from I'm missing some standard fonts like "Times New Roman". Googling suggests this can be fixed in Winetricks but I cannot find where it is in the portable version of Wine.
Thanks.

Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
mikeslr I have been having a go with Portable Wine today. Downloaded 3.3_v2.1 from http://www.mediafire.com/?mso58025te7mz . I extracted the contents to its own folder on the USB. So now I have a directory wine-portable-3.3_v2 which contains the app wine-portable-3.3_v.2. Now the help file suggests ...

Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
@mikewalsh I think I am going to try the Wine portable option first as it seems less intrusive and maybe an easier to upgrade later(?)

Re: Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
Thanks, for these helpful suggestions. The big picture was I was using a version 5 of Puppy and thought it was time I moved up. I have a Windows 11 system but there are a couple of Windows 32-bit programs that I still want to use but refuse to run on Win11 (Oh dear, you say!) So my requirement was ...

Re: pup_save problems with Yumi
Thanks @mikeslr, your edit seems a neat workaround to getting a clean install, i.e. the two USB option. Cheers.

Problem using Wine in fossapup64-9.5
I have used Wine successfully in earlier versions of Puppy. Now it seems all the menu entries have been removed. Apparently the procedure is to run wine from the Terminal for a Windows executable. I installed Wine from the Quickpet menu, and the 32-bit compatibility package. There did not appear to ...

[SOLVED] pup_save problems with Yumi
I have used Puppy for many years, but the version I was running on a USB was quite old so time to re-install, I thought. I decided to try the Yumi exFAT version, however when I came to rebot the first time the pup_save file was not created despite the process asking the questions I expected, but ...
