I have been trying to run a Windoze program called TYREtotravel. But when I try to open it in Wine it opens up the program but then brings up a small window telling me as below



I can't get any further than that. I have been trying for ages but with no improvement. I have run out of ideas?

Any ideas please folks?

The answer here is probably a simple "Wine doesn't support this app." Wine, at best, can run older apps and will struggle with newer ones since, if I remember correctly, the team has to try an implement Windows API without any documentation to do so. In short, it takes them a along time and as a consequence, they'll always be a few releases back. So, in other words, you might be out of luck.

What versions of Windows is this app supported on?

The Windows version? I have no idea, but they are a pretty up to date bunch so I would have thought that it is up to date with the latest version?

It is a very good program and easy to use from what I saw in my previous Windoze life..

If it's using really recent Windows technology, I'm guessing that Wine simply can't support it.

Apparently this issue goes back to 2013 (see here). If that's the case, I'm guessing that you're just out of luck. Do you have a Windows licence available? A VM or Boot Camp would be an option.

No windoze licence I'm afraid and it wouldn't be worth it for just one programme, for me anyway? But thank you for trying Mr S.

I'll have a look around a bit more and see what else I can find?
