Google Adwords Editor + wine + Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) x64 bit + Unknown SSL protocol error


I've recenlty tried to run Google Adwords Editor under Ubuntu 12.04. Of course as always I had to dig a bit before it started to run smoothly...

  • install wine (I have 1.5.5 from proposed) and winetricks
sudo apt-get install winetricks wine
  • install vcrun2005
I used graphical menu from winetricks which is available from Programs > Wine > Winetricks on Ubuntu.
  • if You are on x64 and came to "can't find gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so" check this link
  • download Adwords Editor installer and run msiexec
msiexec /i adwords_editor_en-US.msi
  • if you are getting "[35] Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to www.google.com:443." two things to fix:
  1. "Can't find gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so" check this link - I guess it's only for x64 version of  Ubuntu12.04, x32 bit
  2. run Google Adwords Editor from command line instead of created link in Programs > Wine > Programs
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/users/lechup/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Google/Google\ AdWords\ Editor/adwords_editor.exe
