           Product: Wine

I'm new to Linux / Wine and have been trying to install some old favourite
games of mine. While this software installed properly, running it is an issue
due to a Quick Time error as shown. Any advice or signposting would be welcome
and very much appreciated.

The usual question: is there a freely (legal !!) download of your application.
Specify the version of wine you used. Test with the latest one. Currently, it
is wine-5.6.
If the bug still occurs, attach a console output.

Hi Joapa, thanks for your response.
Upon checking online, it seems that the program is only available from second
hand sources in disc format, as the company website is active, but outdated and
no longer provides a link to the program. It was designed for Windows 3.1 and
95. Two years ago I contacted Maris Multimedia / Focus who told me that they
would not be able or willing to revisit it to provide a fix for current win 10.
I've now converted to Linux.

I installed Wine (system) 4.0 and 5.5 (5.6 isn't yet available for me), both
with the same result. The version of QuickTime it is supposed to run on (2.5)
refuses to install on a non-Windows OS, even via various versions of Wine
e.t.c. I am not yet sure of how to produce console outputs (I am using the
latest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon), so any assistance with that would be
much appreciated.

Thanks again for your reply,

PS - update: Did get it working!... but I had to 'skip' the automatic Quicktime
existing versions on the system search.
Thank you
Brian

Quicktime does not install is surely Bug 18260

Hello folks,

> I had to 'skip' the automatic Quicktime existing versions on the system search.

so this is basically a dupe of bug 18260

Next time I suggest you use WineHQ forums https://forum.winehq.org/ first
before creating bug reports. Installer issues (prerequisites/workarounds) and
identification of existing bug reports is better suited/discussed there.
