    Thumbs down Nook Application worked flawlessly

    I did a bit of searching here and no one seems to have posted this.

    The Barnes and Noble Nook Windows Desktop application works flawlessly in WINE.

    Smile Re: Nook Application worked flawlessly

    I just downloaded the Nook application from B&N....

    I am running Ubuntu 10.10 w/Wine 1.3.15. It installed perfectly and, before running, I set the Wine Config to Win7. It runs exactly as it should (and does on PCś). I entered my email and B&N password and it sync´d with my account. The books are there and they open and can be ready easily. Also, I added two books to My Stuff and they also are able to be ready. I don´t see any difference between this and running it on PC with WinXP or Win7.

    Unhappy Re: Nook Application worked flawlessly

    Nook stopped working for me under Wine 1.3.30 on Ubuntu 11.10. Used to work under 11.04. I get the following message:

    We are sorry, but this Barnes and Noble application
    has encountered a problem and it needs to close
    (code 001).

    Would you like to restart the application not?

    Same issue as Jervin - Nook for PC throws error 001 and force closes on startup under 11.10. Bummer.

    This thread was for kindle software, but I tried the solution (deleting the contents of the Manifest folder described at the end of the link) and it seems to work for Nook too. I haven't checked it out too closely to make sure there aren't any less conspicuous problems, but so far so good.

    I have no idea if doing this will goof up any other wine programs you have installed. I only had one other wine program installed and it wasn't quite working right, so there wasn't much risk in my case. It might be a good idea to back them up before deleting them.

    Re: Nook Application worked flawlessly

    Good fix - both the link and the description are the same fix - delete the contents of the windows/winsxs/manifest folder (the deadbeef files) and Nook for PC works again. Thanks a million!

    I actually find Calibre better than the Nook app...and I don't need wine to run it.
