I recently installed Linux with Crouton on my Chromebook along with Wine but I can't seem to open .exe files yet. I tried opening it with winebrowser and wine programs loader but no results. Nothing happens, I don't even get an error message. Any advice would be appreciated. I don't really know what I'm doing and have used tutorials to get this far. Is there something that I'm missing? I've tried downloading both the Windows 64 and 32 client, and I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

Update: I've just tried installing PlayOnLinux and now I'm getting an error message. "PlayOnLinux has encountered an error. If the program you are installing does not work correctly, it might be the cause of the problem." It's also saying the wine has crashed..

Hello Sir, you are using Ubuntu 16.04 right?

Please follow steps running the commands below in the terminal

 

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

 

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

Download and add the repository key:

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key[/TD]

[/TR]

[TR]

[TD]sudo apt-key add winehq.key[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

Add the repository for future updates

 

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

Update packages:

 

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]sudo apt update[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

Then install:

 

[TABLE]

[TR]

[TD]sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable[/TD]

[/TR]

[/TABLE]

 

After this download and unzip PRO files 32x bits.

If a dialog box appears asking which application to open the executable, select A Wine application.

It's not letting me add the repository for some reason. I keep getting "command not found"

Try copying and pasting the command in the terminal, if you have already done just ignore and go to the next step

I figured out why it wasn't letting me run the repository commands and got it now. Thank you!

It worked?! I'm glad to have helped :) Just a few warnings, like the game is not running natively on the system can ocorror some bugs, like the keyboard stop working in the game while giving the alt + tab but it is not something that interferes so much in the fun. Just a warning, disable the auto-updater within the game, whenever you have any updates on the client you should download again on the site.
