Everytime I try to install wine 1.4 into Mint17, 1.6 wants to be installed as well. Unfortunately, 1.6 crashes my app whereas 1.4 runs smoothly.

How can I install 1.4 only?

Thanks in advance...

Just checked the wine site, and 1.4 is available from their PPA. Head to your terminal, and add the PPA manually: ``` sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa


Then update your APT package information by ```
sudo apt-get update

You should then be able to install 1.4 with the following command in the Terminal: ``` sudo apt-get install wine1.4


Let me know if that works.

Run wine through playonlinux. Then you can use any version of wine you want with zero difficulty. I love the command line but sometimes a GUI makes things 9000% easier and this is one of those times.

playonlinux is by far the easiest way to customize your wine sandboxes

PlayOnLinux did the trick!
