How to run Radmin Viewer using Wine

Radmin has a platinum rating for Wine that means that it will be installed and run flawlessly in out-of-the-box Wine.

How to launch any application using Wine:

Getting Started with Wine

Before we go on installing and running applications in Wine, we should have a clear idea about a few things and about how to configure Wine for usage:

WinePrefix

Windows applications need a C: drive. Wine uses a virtual C: drive for this purpose. The directory of this virtual C: drive is called wineprefix. First of all, we need to create a wineprefix. For doing that, fire up a terminal and enter this command:

winecfg

This will create a wineprefix and open the configuration window for Wine. You can change the configuration options if you want or let it be as is for time being and close it. Now, you can locate the virtual C: drive at

$HOME/.wine/c_drive

WinePrefix C: Drive

The general rule is to install each new application into a fresh wineprefix. We can create and maintain multiple wineprefix manually. But that task would seem rather tedious for the beginners. So, we will skip that part for now. But, later I’m going to show the way for doing that part with ease.

Installing an Application with Wine

Installing a supported application in Wine is generally as easy as double-clicking on the installation file. However, we are now going to see a step-by-step guide for installing 7-zip on Wine.

  • First of all, check for 7-zip rating on Wine Application Database. It has a Platinum rating, so we are good to go.
  • Open Wine configuration ( winecfg ) and set the Windows Version to Windows 7.
