first you need to download the file from where you want to run this installation in this example i am using /home/user
$cd /home/user
$wget http://tsx.nl/files/winexs-1.4.2.tgz
Now you need to extract .tgz file using the following command
$tar xvzf winexs-1.4.2.tgz
Now you should be having winexs directory now you need to go into this directory
$cd winexs
Run the following command to run winexs
$./winexs
Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen,Here you can install,remove software,install system files,wine configuration
Software Installation screen
Install System files screen
Wine configuration screen
This application is very easy and i personally like this.If you guys have any more tips on this please share here.
Its this another spin off of wine? (Like Cedega and Crossover)
will try this out tonight but why does it have to look so fugly? why so so win 2000? why o why?
PlayOnLinux is good too.
@Orlsend: No, consider it as add-on for Wine.
nice tut. i gotta ask one thing, is that the only way to open winexs? can’t i make a shortcut of it and put it in my wine menu?
yes, just add it through the menu config and link it to your binary file “winexs”
it is like crossover , but crossover it is better and easier to you
Crossover is not free 😉
Hi all,
I am new to this stuff.. I have Wine installed.. How do I add this GUI, if wine already installed. Maybe I missed something here but I can’t see how.
to do it as an add on
Say, that “install system libraries” screen
looks a lot like winetricks. Are you using
winetricks internally?
Also, I didn’t see the source code for winesx.
Is it available?
@gabak:
It is NOT like Crossover. Crossover is a commercial product based on Wine with changes made to the Wine source code. This is more like PlayOnLinux or Wine-Doors. It’s a GUI for running and managing OFFICIAL Wine installs. Nothing more, nothing less. While Crossover and similar products like Cedega DO have a GUI, they do NOT use native Wine. They use their own customized versions of Wine with DirectX extensions and other additional code. This does not come with any customized version of Wine.
well crossover may nt be free but it works like a charm , so easy to use and it is nt that expensive either
I get a message in the terminal window.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module”: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Looks good. I find it frustrating when I have to kill rogue wine processes off with killall or kill. Some applications just don’t start right and its best to virtually reboot your wine.
I got this extracted and opened, but it doesn’t work. For example, I click on Install Software, grab what I want from a cd with a Windows program on it, click install…and nothing happens.
yes, just add it through the menu config and link it to your binary file “winexs”
Would someone expand on the above quote, to give detailed instructions on making a link to “winexs” so it can be started more convinently.
when I run the command. / winexs the following message:
bash: ./winexs: No such file or directory
Uhh my problem:
./winexs-
./winexs: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.
wine winexs-
wine: Module not found
./winetricks
this whole massive thing that looks like:
Select a package to install
Cancel art2kmin atmlib cmake colorprofile comct132 comct132.ocx controlpad corefonts…
and so on.
what am i doing wrong?
In case anybody cares: The download link is broken, but there is a mirrored version at http://www.tucows.com/preview/614609/WineXS
