How to open encrypred USB flash drive in wine?

  • 772

I have an encrypted Integral USB stick with LOCKV231.EXE

I was hoping that I may be able to use it in Kubuntu (12.4) through Wine, but when I right-click LOCKV231.EXE and select: 'Open with wine windows program loader' I get a message saying: "Please insert the device or run this utility as privileged user."

How can I load LOCKV231.EXE into wine with admin privileges?

    You can't unless you can find a linux clone of that software:

    1. Wine doesn't support usb passthrough(or other device passthrough).
    2. Wine has no concept of admin priviledges, so things written to assert running as admin fail.

    You should be able to do it with virtualbox with usb passthrough and extensions for full highspeed usb support.
