I have an old 32 bit piece of software from the late 90's that installs and runs without any problem with Wine 8.0 provided with Debian 12 Bookworm. It worked well with earlier Debian releases as well. Unfortunately, it fails with an app window titled "Critical" with the error "Unable to move data to installation directory" on later Wine releases (Debian testing/Trixie, Fedora 40, Ubuntu 24.0, the stable release on the winehq debian repo). The command and output on the installation attempt on Ubuntu 24.04 follow. I also ran with "WINEDEBUG=all wine setup.exe" but the output was rather intimidating.
Have I missed a new requirement for using the latest Wine releases? And what debug level should I use to provide a reasonable level output that will help understand what is going on?
Thank you for the response. There is still over 5000 lines of output before the failure occurs using that debug level, which I'm unable to interpret. Is there an appropriate way I should post it or submit it as a bug report?
It's rather obscure commercial software so I'm unable to send out the copyrighted setup file and I double anyone else has a copy. It's not critical by any means so I'll just run it in a virtual machine. A bit less convenient but not a major problem either.
