Need help running EXE files in kali linux
im trying to run an .exe file in my VM kali, I found a way that said to install Wine, after i installed wine it asked for wine32 when i tried that it said (attached to the post) not enough space even though I have alotted 50gb of my SSD which sole purpose is to provide storage for my VM's

oh
read my paragraph
yeah then just
wine program.exe
it asked to install wine32
Than install wine 32?

please read
sorry I'm feverish and may not read things clearly atm
maybe allocate more space?
i did 50gb
it says 851mb available
need 1249~mb
Try allocating maybe 5 gb more
i have no idea where its installing
i have allocated 50gb more f
because it says 12somethingsomething mb in the screenshot
yeah it might work then
not working
its taking some other directory to install
its weird because you've given it the amount its asking for
yes
its using a different directory which has less space
try copying those to a directory with more space

thing is i was just born inside linux
i have no idea how to do that but let me google and try
apt-get install wine32:i386
it needs those DLLs to run
as for the space thing, unsure yetokay so it did install
its workin now
but
not running the .exe file
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
yeah you need to run that above command
it may take a while
after all windows needs basically all of those to function
what above cmds
the current issue report is
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
how do i change directory of .wine to some other place like dev/sda1
place like i have a lot spaceEllo
mv ~/.wine /mnt/sda1/wine
Might be worth to verify that wine is actually where it's supposed to be
U could try to create a symlink
ln -s /mnt/sda1/wine ~/.wine

it dosent matter
the file is in its right place
which is good
idk why it isnt working
u tried a new vm?
not yet i wanna try most solutions before i do that
im thinking and i rlly dont know whats wrong
everything seems fine
its just not working
exactly
Ask chatgpt
im currently doin that
Conclusion:
The immediate issue of disk space preventing apt update has been resolved. The system now knows about 279 packages that can be upgraded. The user can proceed with upgrading those packages if they wish, and then continue with their Wine installation/troubleshooting.
That shouldn't work
it isnt workin
:Cry:
does this figure smth out to u?

Yep
Because it was .wine it was probably hidden
Hidden files normally have a . At the start
Should work now tho

no space
U sure u have enough space?

182GB is crazy
That's more then the total storage I have
i have dedicated a WHOLE KINGSTON 250GB SSD TO THIS MF
:AngryCry:
Do u have anything important there?
done
i had to delete kali's preinstalled tools
A LOT OF EM
freed up 9gb
and
🧠 Looking at your file:
In the Thunar file manager, the XXXX file appears without the .exe extension, and it has a gear icon — suggesting it’s a Linux ELF binary, not a Windows .exe.
am i dumb for this?
i just didnt know
my bad if my info was wrong
thank you for ur time
:MoonThanks:
:dumb:WAIT
I have kali running on 10GB of storage
And it's enough
How the hell is it not enough for pre built tools
no idea geng
i did df -h now the dev/sda1 is 9.8gb/19gb used
nah
