Wine does not implement privileges, so such message does not make any sense under Wine.
The application I am trying to install needs administrator rights to function correctly PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac keeps all of it's resources, WineBuilds, and virtual drives contained in one folder, and will never interfere with your other WINEPREFIX created by vanilla Wine and winetricks (unless, of course, you start using winetricks for POL virtual drives or try to use vanilla Wine on a POL virtual drive, or something like that.). Will PlayOnLinux interfere with my current Wine or winetricks installations? Without getting too technical, POL will need it, so it is best to install it. POL will want to see it, and will use it's dependencies concurrently with POL's WineBuilds. You will want to have a 32-bit version of Wine installed on your system, along with the dependencies it suggests. This also applies to support regarding pirated software and cracks.ĭo I have to install Wine to use PlayOnLinux? POL/POM does not provide any sort of pirated software in any way. You actually have to own, say, Photoshop CS6, in order to install Photoshop CS6. It provides the means to install those applications. PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac does not actually provide the applications. Why isn't PlayOnLinux downloading Photoshop (or whatever retail application) for me?
If it is even remotely popular, and people have attempted to use it through Wine, it will likely be listed there. There are many, many entries for a lot of different types of Windows applications, all submitted to the Wine community by users like yourself. Since POL/POM is a front-end for Wine, the first place to check, besides our Supported Software section, is WineHQ's AppDB.
