WineXS: A GUI for Wine

11 Dec

Wine as we all know is an Opensource implementation of Windows API to linux .Wine can be used as a development toolkit as well as a program loader for creating a compatibilty layer b/w linux and windows applications .It can be used to run almost all Windows applications and games in linux platform. As we have already covered Wine in our previous postings, we are familiar with it but  the concern for a Wine UI still continues. And, now the wait is over.We are happy to inform our users that there exists a frontend named WineXS that gives a proper UI for Wine for installing and removing applications. Now , we dont have to rely on .dlls(wine has the ability to use .dll if available) and .exe’s . We can directly install softwares in wine using WineXS and remove them directly without going to a Windows machine. It gives user a full control over wine for installing , removing softwares, editing wine registry , file-management , installing system files , kill wine if it hangs out :P , user guide etc.

Installation Process :

For installing Wine ,please refer our Wine-post or one can also use Ubun-Student for installationof wine to your computer system.

Installing WineXS:

We at first download the file into the destination folder where we need winexs to be into say it is /home/user.

cd/home/user

sudo wget http://tsx.nl/files/winexs-1.4.2.tgz

Wine is a software designed to run Microsoft Windows applications on a Linux system..

Wine creates a compatibility layer that enables implementation of Windows and it’s dynamic link library (.dll) files. Rather than going into much more details of it we will now install Wine on our system and then we’ll install a compatible software that may be used with WINE.

Just go to “Add/Remove Applications” under Applications menu and then search for “Wine” (Refer the screenshot below)

Check The “Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer” and then click “Apply Changes” to install.

Or enter

sudo apt-get install wine in terminal.
