What you’ll need for getting old Windows 3.1 applications running.
one thing to note:
I read recently that MSDOS applications are having problems in WINE (the solution I have below.) On that note, if you’re having problems, try running the program in DOSBox on your windows machine!
apt-get install alsa
Which will install ALSA, a Debian sound environment,
And
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
Yes, I had very little success getting any WINE application running without the “X” windows setup.
apt-get install wine
Install Wine.
Now, let’s say yo’ure on a desktop PC and you want to connect
Continuing on..
winecfg
Lets you configure WINE when you install it. :O
alsaconf
And that lets you configure Alsa. It should be done.
Last few moments:
Follow this tutorial to get PuTTY to forward your X Session to XMing:

So let’s go over this:
- Putty is set up to receive windows from your server
- Your computer is set up to receive windows from Putty
- Your Linux server is ready to create windows for use with WINE.
