One in particular is Python - either Python 2.7 from https://www.python.org/ using: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-279/ another is ActivePython: http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads but I've tried a whole lot more randomly chosen .msi files just to know where I was at. Which exact suggestions did you try? (ie. exact command lines/steps). msiexec [filename] was the main one. This gave EXACTLY the same error output as did trying to use Wine to run the .msi files The problem is so obvious and reproducible the messing about that I did after that is of no consequence, and I did not record what I did when it achieved nothing. I've been taking part in a discussion on a forum ... Someone who uses Mint got the system working ... I looked long and hard at the Python code URLs for all three of these please ? I only have one - apart from Mint itself (http://www.linuxmint.com/). Why do you ask for three? The forum is at: https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/drm-removal-tools-for-ebooks/#comments and it's such a poor site I can't get you directly to the comment. Search the page for barrydrake and you'll find all of my stuff, and the discussions with (mainly) Paul Durrant - but others did respond as I responded to others. The Python code is of no consequence as it fails because of lack of Python running under Wine. Details of the behaviour of the code, including debug logs is posted on the forum - if anyone has the patience to plough through it. And before anyone comments on my reason for having to remove the DRM - my e-book reader is not compatible with books I have purchased online, so I can no longer read them now I have sold my old ebook reader. But that has nothing to do with the problem in Ubuntu/Wine. Regards,Barry. is there an Ubuntu/wine person that I could report this to?

[ubuntu-uk] Problem with wine ....
Hi there Some time ago, I mentioned that I could not install .msi files using wine. The suggestions were mostly things I's already tried. I now confirm that it is impossible to install .msi file using wine under Ubuntu - and I have proof that this is NOT a wine problem! I've been taking part in a discussion on a forum devoted to a Calibre plugin that uses Python to interact with two different Windows programs running under wine. Someone who uses Mint got the system working that I needed to use. In the course of discussion helping him, I looked long and hard at the Python code that is used to move information between wine programs, and Calibre running under Linux. I could see where my problem was occurring, but to prove it out, I installed Mint on a spare hard-drive. When I installed wine under Mint, I was amazed to discover that Mint was using the wine and associated packages from the Ubuntu repository! And this same wine installation that fails under Ubuntu works perfectly under Mint! There is a problem. As it doesn't seem to be a wine problem, is there an Ubuntu/wine person that I could report this to? Kind regards,Barry. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Thanks, a quick glance seems to be focused on ubuntu derivatives. Sugar On Toast seems to be it, but the other one I was trying is a fedora derivative.
