This is unofficial quick guide about how to run the exeem file sharing program on Linux operating system, since its only for windows.
So if you dont know what this is you better get off the site!
First of all you need a program named wine on your Linux distro, if you dont know what it is then read here.
Im not the expert for wine program, so dont blame me and im not responsible for any actions you do with help of this guide! If you wont succed, it isnt my problem!
Now that you have wine installed and configured, here are the easy steps how to do it:
1. Exeem installation with wine:
Option 1 - Copy your existing exeem directory from your winbox to your wine 'Program Files' directory in your virtual c:/ drive, or whereever.
Option 2 - Download exeem installation file and execute it 'wine exeem-setup.exe' and install it (im not sure if it works, I didnt do it this way!).
2. Exeem under wine configuration:
Open your wine config file (~/.wine/config usually) and put this at the end:
[AppDefaults\\eXeem.exe\\DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin, native"
"dciman32" = "native"
"dciman" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"msvcp71" = "native"
"msvcr71" = "native"
"gdiplus" = "native"
If you dont have those dll files (dciman*.dll or shdocvw.dll) then download them from here or here..
Other dlls are included in exeem (0.18) directory.
3. Go to exeem directory and type 'wine eXeem.exe' and thats it! It will ask you for serial most probably since your exeem registry data is clear..
Final notices:
- If it hangs up then minimize the window and maximize it back, then it will be back to normal (lol).
- If you change your configuration, including adding the serial, the changes will be saved when you exit the exeem successfully..
- You might get an annoying runtime error on exit.
- Ive tested it with eXeems 0.16,0.17,0.18 betas.
- If you use the beta version <0.20, then you can close the serial request window.
- All the options are working fine.
Thats all for now! If you dont believe me, here are the screenshots of successful running exeem under wine in Linux.
