[Wine] Datakam Player (Registrator Viewer)

[Phil Reynolds]

Is it possible to get Datakam Player/Registrator Viewer, a program
supplied with many dashcams, to run on my Linux system using wine? When
I try to do so at the moment, I get a "Bad EXE format" error. I am
running wine-1.6.2 on a Debian 7 system, amd64.

I can play the video and audio parts of my dashcam footage using a
variety of players but they don't handle the GPS part.

"Bad EXE format" can come from trying to run an MSI installer as an
executable. If you have an MSI file, you can run it with:

wine msiexec /i path/to/installer.msi

If that's not the problem, then I don't have enough information. Try
running the "file" command on your "bad EXE format" file and tell us
what it is.

No, no MSI file.
