Doesn't run on Linux

I suggest trying the native Linux installation instead of trying to use an exe with Wine. If this is what you are trying to do.

The Linux install is called BOINC which is the core software behind the branded downloads called Progress Thru Processors or GridRepublic downloads.

Instructions for the Linux download are found in the add computer section when selecting Linux as your computer OS. 

1. Select the Home page at the top of the screen.
2. Select the My Computers Tab
3. At the bottom of the screen select add computer
4. Follow the instructions on that screen and select Linux as the OS.
