Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.

[DavidPalaxo]

I apologise if I placed the issue on incorrect repo I have not find any working solution anywhere on web as well. Anyway, I have successfully installed game-porting-toolkit, but I am unable to run any executable (*.exe). Still getting following message if I do anything possible:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: 0024:err:start:fatal_error FormatMessage failed

I have build all available packages with Quartz support (+quartz), but based on documentation it should be supported. I have also tried to install wine-stable, but still the same problem.

winecfg working perfectly fine, notepad or explorer is working perfectly fine.

Can you please advise or direct me to next steps?

Thank you in advance!

Sounds like Terminal lacks permissions to access the location the exe

As you can see in the screenshot I've launched Gw2Setup-64.exe from my ~/Downloads folder but Terminal has permission to access this so it launched. The fact your able to launch wines builtin applications is the reason I believe this to be the case.

[DavidPalaxo]

I already have Privacy & Security > Full disk access enabled for Terminal app. I have tried to add wine64 as well with no success.

Maybe output from winecfg can be useful...Not sure if relevant :/

Please provide the entire launch command and exactly what your attempting to run as it possible what your attempting to run has additional unmet requirements.

I have followed this guide to install the toolkit. A lot of ports have been rebuilt with +universal flag as I am using similar ports with arm64 architecture (f.e. Gimp or Inkscape). I have run into few problems that some of ports have not been rebuild automatically with universal support, but it was obvious from logs, so I have installed them manually with +universal option. At the end all required ports have finished installation without any error.

Then I have followed the steps:

1. WINEPREFIX=~/wine /opt/local/libexec/game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 winecfg
2. WINEPREFIX=~/wine /opt/local/libexec/game-porting-toolkit/bin/wine64 /Users/user/Downloads/SteamSetup.exe or gameportingtoolkit ~/wine /Users/user/Downloads/SteamSetup.exe is not working (the first one at least output any output)

Still sounds like a permissions issue as SteamSetup.exe doesn't have any special requirements.

Instead use gameportingtoolkit ~/wine explorer then navigate to the location of SteamSetup.exe if the folder happens to be blank inside the explorer window it doesn't have permissions to access the folder. An alternative is you could move SteamSetup.exe into another location that doesn't require special permissions.

[DavidPalaxo]

Actually, I can see all the content of Downloads folder. Even if I place text file test.txt I am able to open that using explorer with notepad, edit the file and save that.

[Gcenx]

You should be able to launch SteamSetup.exe directly from the explorer window then.

It looks to me that I am missing some important port. Maybe it was not installed with +universal flag. Are you able to confirm that all packages are present. I have only dependencies of Wine (GPTK) installed with that flag. Attaching the list...

ports.txt

Can you confirm the contents of /opt/local/libexec/game-porting-toolkit/bin/

Now it makes sense why you’ve been unable to launch Steam via explorer wine64-preloader is missing guess Apples fix alone wasn’t enough.

I’ll apply an additional fix to the Portfile later and do a rev-bump.

[DavidPalaxo]

Thank you very much.

Looking forward for the fix :)

[Gcenx]

Please update your local copy of this repo is not using git format, then uninstall and reinstall game-porting-toolkit this should now work.

[DavidPalaxo]

It's working! Thank you for such a quick response and resolution!
