Update: I  tried this script (running Mint 19.1) and it failed in a few places because it is out of date. One of them is the e-sword file version which obviously has to be changed to1122. Other areas have to do with repository addresses and such which have also changed. The new info is available at winehq.orq, but I don't know enough about scripting to make all the changes and make everything gel. Perhaps if someone does know how to do this and rebuild a script that works it could be posted and tried.

For now I will stick with the dual-boot win/linux setup I have

I wanted to get e-sword running in Linux as well, but have had no luck with Wine at all. Still pretty new at the Linux thing, but I gave up for now and just went with a dual-boot system setup - Linux & Win 7. Good luck

Hey, thanks for sharing this info ! I actually found it while doing a google search about running e sword on Zorin, which is the Linux flavor I am currently trying out. Until a few days ago I didn't know anything about Linux, but I decided to get into it because I want to be rid of Win 7 before the updates expire.       It's working fine for me btw - not trying the multi-boot thing though - lol.

There aren't really any Windows programs I want to be able to run on Linux except for e sword, so when I get to that part of the change-over I'm going to give it a shot. :-)

Yep - that did it. Thanks. Don't know how I missed that,..

Never mind ... I got it.
