Wine - Linux running windows

[Itprotj]

Okay, i've got a Linux Centos VPS, And i want to run wine on it to run 1 windows program.
I asked through Support tickets, They said it was "Possible" But you would have to research it for yourself. Does anyone know how... Maybe i could do it through Shell access... Anyone?

P.S (www.winehq.com Wine site)

what windows application are you wanting to run? likely there is an OSS solution.

[Itprotj]

I wanted to run a Mini game server thing. its called a Habbo retro server.
You run the exe, Specify the ports in a .ini file and you run it and leave it going.

[Rick]

has it been reported to run properly under wine? wine networking support is sketchy.

[Itprotj]

Well theres lots of different retro server files So theres bound to be one that actually works.

[Itprotj]

Bumped. Read last reply from me.

my advice is not to waste time with wine as it is not a real solution in a server environment. However, if you read the wine manual and install it you can launch exe's in only a few minutes. so, a small investment to give it a shot. I paid for the commercial version of wine a few months ago to test it out. It works pretty well but I had so many application crashes under it, I couldn't see using it in a server scenario. the purpose of using unix is because its more stable.

Hmmm Not too good at Unix commands, I'll have a try

I tried running Wine on my VPS, but it seems that Wine works terrible in Rapid.One, so I decided to forget about Wine, because I needed an X server, and all that non-sense.

[Rick]

what does terrible mean? how much cpu time / mhz (monitored in our website) was it using? memory? what is the overall problem which makes it terrible.

[Faltzer]

I never tried it, just support told me that it wouldn't run correctly and it would have poor performance.
