Installing MobiPocket Creator on Ubuntu

First of all, install the latest version of wine.
Seconds, set it to have a 32-bit Wine Prefix :

remove the current Wine settings directory:

sudo rm -r ~/.wine

and then create 32 bit prefix with this command:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg 

Now for Mobipocket Creator to run properly, run this in terminal and follow any instructions:

winetricks ie6 vcrun2005

Apparently creating new mobi books work, but it pops up an error every time you do something. Just ignore these errors and build the book anyway.

UPDATE:
do this to have a clear GUI for Mobipocket Creator:

winetricks ie8

This solves the pop-up errors and the incomplete user interface!


Install MobiPocket Creator:
Download from official page,
double click to install with Wine.
