Well I think I have come across an answer to this problem? I have tried it out on both systems Mint 11 and Ubuntu 11.10 and it is working for me.

I can't take credit for this answer as I came across it on the net. Sorry do not have the web address where I found it as it did not get printed out on my hard copy.


Do this B4 installing E-sword

Set oleaut32 to builtin in winecfg

Using Winetricks install

msls31
msxml3 **
vb6run
vcrun6
wsh57

Install E-sword


** You my get an error message in regard to this file. Winetricks should open a web page where you can download it from. Copy the file into the location listed in the error message. If you do not see the .cache folder press " Ctrl H " and this will show you the hidden files and folders. You will have to select the files again in Winetricks.

Hope this works for everyone

can anyone help with the installation e=sword in android os???

e-Sword is not available for Android.

To run e-Sword on Android, three things have to be done:

• Write a virtual chip that incorporates the IA-32 instruction set for ARM;
• Write software that emulates Windows on Android;
• Write software that sanely enables 64 bit software to run on a 32 bit OS;

Microsoft claims that Windows 8 will run on ARM. What they have been more reticent about, is how difficult it will be for developers to write software for the various chips that Windows 8 allegedly will run on.

I'd recommend MySword for Android, since e-Sword does not run on that operating system. You can use TheWord and e-Sword resources in MySword for android devices.
