How do I use wine to install a program?

[oldos2er]

And I also don't know where is C in my linux system.

That would be /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ but as krustenBrot suggested, an app rated as 'garbage' won't work under wine. Might I suggest you look for a Linux dictionary app instead?

For the MCF42 dll error install mfc42 through winetricks described here

I don't know about the LGui64u.dll see if it works after the winetricks thing. Did you install Lingoes through PlayonLinux?

Later I installed mfc42 package in the library. I don't know how to install Lingoes through Playonlinux. That's the problem. I tired to follow the wizard but couldn't understand it at all.

That would be /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ but as krustenBrot suggested, an app rated as 'garbage' won't work under wine. Might I suggest you look for a Linux dictionary app instead?

Version 2.8.1 is not garbage rated. It's silver.
Alternative is goldendict I guess? I couldn't find its dictionaries at all. It looks like a dead project. But that's another story.

I always heard how easy wine it is to use to run windows program. They even run Starcraft 2 there. How come I can't even run a dictionary program normally?

I would have thought most Windows programs don't work on wine, but I'm about as far from being a wine expert as it's possible to be.

I have Goldendict installed, but it seems to be buggy to the point of being unusable on 12.04. There's also stardict, but I have no experience with it.

Maybe there's something there that would help?

Thank you oldos2er.
Since Lingoes is listed in wine's webpage: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=6328

I hope somebody can guide me through how to install it.

Have you installed Internet Explorer 6 yet?

winetricks ie6

My version is 2.8.1 so I installed vcrun6

Now I am able to run the program. The only problem now is the Asian characters can't be displayed normally. I have installed "all fonts" with winetricks though.
