Ubuntu
nautilus package

cannot find zip file directory

Asked by gypsy

End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /home/shop/2 Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Full Version/2_BeJeweled 2 Deluxe - FULL VERSION.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/shop/2 Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Full Version/2_BeJeweled 2 Deluxe - FULL VERSION.exe or
          /home/shop/2 Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Full Version/2_BeJeweled 2 Deluxe - FULL VERSION.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/shop/2 Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Full Version/2_BeJeweled 2 Deluxe - FULL VERSION.exe.ZIP, period.

Its not a zip file dude, its a windows binary. You need wine to run it

Massive note:
not all apps run with wine, some even refuse to run. You can check compatibility on the wine appdb but a lot of stuff doesnt run. Some apps run amazingly.
In your case you lucked out:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2941
Gives it a platinum rating which means it runs flawlessly.

sudo apt-get install wine; wine /home/shop/2 Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Full Version/2_BeJeweled 2 Deluxe - FULL VERSION.exe

Will install wine then install te game.

You cannot install taht particular app as it is not compatible with your OS.

You can run plenty of windows apps using wine but this ne just doesn't happen to work.

Can you help with this problem?
