Error Message Received

Whenever I try to install the latest Spotify version, I get the error message
mentioned in the title.

I tried installing using a clean 32-bit Wine prefix as described in bug 33508,
but I still get the same error message.

I downloaded the installer straight from Spotify's Windows download page.

Lubuntu 17.10 64-bit

The installer link is here: https://www.spotify.com/us/download/windows/

Also I ran it using Windows 7, as the installer requires Windows 7+

Hi Chris, have a look in the AppDB, i posted a howto there:

This bugreport will be resolved as duplicate

Copy/paste:

Workarounds

1. You have to use wine-staging to install spotify (wine doesn`t work). Cd into
the directory where the installer resides and do:

/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine runas /trustlevel:0x20000 spotify-1-0-62-508.exe

2. I tested version 1.0.62508. You have to run this version with

/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine Spotify.exe --no-sandbox

Otherwise you`ll get a black screen.

3. winetricks nocrashdialog

There`s an initial (non-fatal) crash

4. winetricks corefonts

For preventing garbled text
