Couldn't make Angry birds work on wine

1. Add the PPA for Ubuntu Wine Team:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
   

2. Install the wine1.3 package. Just running Update Manager won't install it as it is a different package than wine1.2 (the version of Wine included in the repositories).

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install wine1.3  
   

3. Double-click on AngryBirds.exe or in a terminal run the command:

   wine AngryBirds.exe
   

   If this still doesn't work, try backing up and removing your ~/.wine directory:

   mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak
   

4. Kill some green pigs:

   

Try adding the wine ppa (ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa) to your software sources and upgrade wine to the latest version. This should make Angry Birds work well.

I had same troble. Solved it very easely: when you install "Angry birds" just check Microsoft Visual C++ redistribitible package

This error may occur when missing "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package". To fix it

1. Identify the version that you need to install from ' L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.4053) ' (brackets containing version)

2. Pick correct version from here to download.

3. Then just download it and install using wine.

   You will see the success!
