I have some desktop linux software, which I'd like to use on Windows and make it as much easy to install as possible. Easier than "go install VirtualBox and use this Ubuntu image with all the preinstalled stuff".
I've looked at "portable ubuntu project" (which can be run as usual win-32 application) but it does not feel like something robust, and has old 10 version of ubuntu in it. And seems like you can't use it on 64-bit Windows.
Or if there is no other way - can you recommend a way to create a super robust automatic windows installer which will install VirtualBox and create a virtual machine using snapshot? I need it to run smoothly on very wide range of new and old versions of MS Windows.
Or actually any thoughts on this topic would be much appreciated.
Can any one help me install "Teradata" on Windows 10. A step by step guide will be much helpful.
I tried this in Google but didnt get any useful link.
You can't "install" Teradata on Windows, there's no more Windows version since TD14.
There's only a VM running TD on Suse Enterprise Linux in different flavours found on the Teradata Download site (The user guide is a bit outdated, but still valid), for VMWare Player, VMware vSphere and the new trial on AWS.

Good Day,
I have Livecode 7.1 Community edition. I made a small program, I want to test it in an emulator. It is not working I get this error:
I am using windows 7 64.
I have sdk and avd running. I am not sure what else I need to do.
Thank you for looking at this.
Did you follow the guide for installation here: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Android_set_up_enviroment ??
I went to run my application on Eclipse IDE 3.7 using an Oracle Complex event processing server 11.1, it works with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10, the problem is that it doesn't work Oracle Lunix 6. I am not familiar with this OS, I need your help please to find a solution for this problem. Thanks a lot.
Tarek.
Many of my users have been telling me that they'd like to run my software on their Linux machines under Wine.
But I'm a Windows Developer who has practically no experience with Linux.
Now I could spend a month or two installing Linux, learning Linux, installing Wine, learning Wine, and thoroughly ensure my application runs well under Wine. But I am still developing for Windows, so I don't want to take so much time away from development right now.
So what can I do without too much effort to get my program running as well as possible under Wine?
I did find this General help on running applications under Wine.
Download VMWare and an Ubuntu virtual machine (Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution) from the VMWare site. This will provide you with a working Linux O/S inside your Windows environment without needing to install Linux manually.
You can then use the instructions here to install Wine, that Wiki page also provides you with some instructions on how to use it.
If you follow what Adam Rosenfield suggested and just try running your application in Wine unmodified, you will be able to determine quickly whether there are problems. My guess would be that there are some, otherwise your users would not have contacted you about it :)
There are many ways for getting help with debugging applications in Wine, consult the website for options and pick a few ways that suit you. As always, it's best not to rely on a single channel for communication.
Also, if you are more comfortable with developing in Windows, the approach of using a virtual machine will allow you to compile your code as usual in Windows and copy the binary into the virtual machine for testing (Ubuntu supports browsing/mounting Windows shares).
As long as you're not doing anything unusual such as playing around with hardware or poking around in undocumented API calls and data structures, you should be able to run your code under Wine with few or no modifications. Wine has a fairly complete implementation of the public Windows APIs, so if your program plays nice and doesn't mess around, it should just work.
Don't use too much of the windows API! Don't use anything new from Microsoft ;)
Avoid using WPF is the #1 suggestion.
But it really wouldn't kill you to test your app under Wine. It's not that hard to try; it certainly won't take months. For instance:
Use http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#wubi to install
Ubuntu into a file on your Windows machine, then start ubuntu and install the latest Wine from
http://winehq.org/download/deb
Then try running your app's installer.
If it doesn't work, check the Wine FAQ, ask for help in one of the wine forums, and/or file bugs in wine's bug tracker.
Should take about three hours from a dead start to trying out your installer.
I was rather surprised when one of my Delphi5 applications just worked out of the zip.
The only real way this is going to work is to do it yourself, i.e. install vmware and a linux distro as Sean suggested. Linux isn't actually that hard, and we're all here to help.
Having done a quick test I can confirm that it largely works. There is an ACCVIO reading 0x34 during start up, the error dialog can be ignored and the application runs, I opened the Steve McCarthy GEDCOM.

This was using Wine 1.1.12 under MEPIS 7.9.94-rc1_32 under VMWare. Highly recommend to use VMWare for this sort of thing.
What language/platform do you develop with? Depending on which it is, it should be no trouble to get it running native. For example, if you use Java or Python, both operate very cleanly on Linux. Likewise, if you're a .NET developer, you should be able, with some pain, to get your app running in Mono.
Find Linux beta testers. It can reports a bug to WINE developers or find a bug in your application.
Wine is more sensitive to errors than Windows. For example, Wine will crash on NULL window handles, and fail to create windows if the class is invalid, whereas Windows is more robust and will just circumvent the error.
It's an opportunity to clean up your code.
I was amazed at how well Wine ran my app the first time I tried. However, I had to get rid of a third-party driver-based component.
