Doesn't work in Wine for Linux. #108

Closed masternetra closed 5 years ago

masternetra commented 5 years ago

Found this, tried to use 3.0.0 via "Textractor-3.0.0\Textractor.exe" in wine (to run on linux) and get a bunch of "Path not found" popups.

So it doesn't work.

What have you done to try and fix it? Did you try and run anything else before? Did you make sure you had all of the required dependencies? What were you doing at the time? How did you install it? What was the specific error message?

Until you answer some basic questions, it's a waste of time to troubleshoot your issue due to how abnormal your situation is.

"What have you done to try and fix it?" - Tried running the vc_redist.x86.exe from the release section (depsite having it already installed in wine), and it didn't help at all. Haven't a clue as to what else to try.

"Did you try and run anything else before?" - Yes, a RPG Maker game, ITHVNR, Translation Aggregator, and some other things.

"What was the specific error message?" - I told you. "Path not found", that is all it said. There were I think about 10 or more of them that popped up.

"What were you doing at the time?" - Also told you, I was trying to run "Textractor-3.0.0\Textractor.exe".

"How did you install it?" - I just downloaded the release "Textractor-3.0.0.zip" to downloads and extracted it there and tried to run the exe mention previously.

"Did you make sure you had all of the required dependencies?" - I have Visual C++ 2017 installed yes, if there any others you haven't listed them as far as I'm aware of.

If that's the entire error I really don't know. I've never seen that before. A few things to try: Rename the folder from Textractor-3.0.0 to just Textractor Try version 2.0.0-beta

Based on what you've written, I'm inclined to believe that this is a problem with WINE. This supposition is further supported by the fact that just typing "Wine Path Not Found" into google yields quite a few results indicating that this is a known problem. Here're some things that I found: https://askubuntu.com/questions/52349/i-have-a-problem-with-wine-path-not-found-when-i-trying-to-run-install-exe https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=4897 https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wine-programs-not-working-try-steps/

The common solutions involve using double quotes, messing with the winecfg file, upgrading/downgrading the wine version, reinstalling wine...

The directory separator is wrong in the zip files. Try fixing it with this method: rename -p 's^\\^/^g' Textractor-3.0.0\\*

Artikash commented 5 years ago

Should be fixed in 3.0.1.

7z or zip can be used as replacement for Compress-Archive function of PowerShell.
