Running Beertools Pro under WINE

[Bellemus]

I have recently migrated to a Linux based OS, Ubuntu, and installed the WINE program to run Windows application. I have been successful in getting some game apps to run, WoW, Popcap games, but have not been able to get Beertools Pro to run. Has anyone had any success running BeerTools and what did you do to make it work?

Same problem here, something is wrong with the directory permissions??

Yes, that is the problem I am having. I tried logging in as admin etc to fix, no luck. I did try Pro Mash Demo under Linux with no problem.

I had the same experience several month ago, except I was using Crossover Office which is a Wine derivative. The thing is that earlier versions of BTP would run, but after version 1.0.27, or so, it stopped working. Like Bellemus said, never any problems with ProMash.

EDIT: I should have mentioned that I am running Ubuntu

Same here, I can run many windows apps but BTP will not create the registration file on installation. It does seem like a permissions problem but all directories in the wine directory seem OK.
