I'm trying to install python under WINE in order to run and communicate with a windows application that uses COM.
I've tried the following but neither seems to work:
[root@localhost ForCentOS]# wine msiexec /i python-2.7.2.msi
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050 for L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msifc.tmp"
[root@localhost ForCentOS]#
[root@localhost ForCentOS]# wine start python-2.7.2.msi
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500
--> this hangs and does not return...
This worked for me tested in Debian 8.
Wine installation
apt-get install wine
dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install wine32
