Linux Mint 13 64Bit: How to run PDF XChange Viewer in WINE?

Hi experts!

I tried to install PDF X Change viewer (latest version) under WINE. Some posts on the web say it works without problems. First I tried 32bit version and it works smooth, but crashes when I want to save a file.

Then I read I need to install the 64bit version, but also this version does not work on my configuration.

I also tried "PlayOnLinux" to run it, but also this produces the same error.

I would highly appreciate any help on this.

I am running WINE 1.4.

How can I get more precise info about WINE version? I don't see, if it is 32 or 64bit.

How to update?

Mazdajai

Depends on you install it - apt-get or dpkg?

As far as I remember I used apt-get. Is there a way to find out how I did it? As I am completely new to Linux I just followed some recommendations here and there not knowing too much what I am doing...

If you do not remember, you can try using apt-get and it has no harm.

apt-get install wine

Open in new window
