Open encrypted on Window 7 usb

Hello !
First let me tell you how amazed I'm with Linux Zorin 6 performance. For years I've been using Window ( windows 3.1 -> 7) and except some really crappy experiance with old Red Hat version (10 years ago), I have never used Linux. As I intend to buy a low end netbook without OS (atom N2600, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD(5400 prm)) I started searching for a light linux OS. After an exciting week during which I tried 10 linux distro, I voted for Zorin 6 ( for old laptop) and Zorin 6 lite for the future netbook.
The Problem:
I have a USB driver that is encrypted under Window 7 enterprise with Safend. When I plug the usb to my linux pc, the system recognise the accesssecuredata.exe file ( I mean, I see the beautiful icon of Safend so I assume it is recognised), but... I can't access the encrypted data. I tried to open it with terminal, nothing. I tried with wine, stil nothing. Is there some special tuning of wine in order to recognise the usb drive ( I autodetected all the drives in wine - c:\ , home, z:\ and stil nothing) ?
What else can I do?

Best regards,
Kahlan

Hi,

I think that Safend is an exotic Windows encryption software that may not have an equal in Linux, try freeing the encryption on the USB stick under Windows first, then try it again under Linux!!. I have never used such software and I am only guessing now!!.

Hi Wolfman,
I don't think the problem is with Safend and the encryption, but the fact that the exe file doesn't start. I mean when I double click it, nothing happens - no " that's exe file, can't open it", error or an opened blank window. I knew it won't open directly, but I expected some kind of reaction....
How could I open an exe file on linux? Different from Terminal -> ./media/USB_name/AccessSecureData.exe.
Is it possible to open a USB from WINE?

Have you given permissions to the exe file?
Right-click on it, go to properties>permissions tab and tick the box that says "allow executing as a program".
Save and try again to open it with wine.

Hi,

take a look here:

I cannot find Safend anywhere in the app database!!.

You might want to try Wine Tricks too:
