I want to install Windows Media Encoder 9 series on Ubuntu, but wine is not running the .exe file.
A popup says,
This version of Windows Media Encoder can only be installed on a computer running Microsoft Windows XP
I also used this command but it didn't work:
sudo apt-get install wmencoder
How can I do it?
Sorry to tell you but WME9 does not yet work on Wine. You can see the information about it here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14306&iTestingId=42161
I would have recommended changing the Operating System to Windows XP:
But this would only end with another error about not being able to install it. In the comments mentioned in winehq inside the bug reports they say about making sure you have all DirectX components installed. Already did that with no luck. The problems still appears to be with DirectShow and DirectSound.
Even tried to install the Encoder Pro 4 which is the new version to see if that one worked. Installing Silverlight worked. Installing the Encoder Pro 4 did not.
So for the moment there is no way to install this encoders aside from installing Virtualbox and installing them in a virtual windows system.
