I updated Ubuntu to 15.10 and I can't install Google adwords editor (11.2.1) . When I try to do it via Wine (1.8) I have a info:

Unable to connect to the Internet. If you're using firewall, please whitelist GoogleUpdate.exe 

I disabled firewall and the situation didn't change. Any solution?

ETA: The download link for the MSI is now located at . If this link also stops working, you can contact Google Ads support directly and ask for them to send the most recent version file to you.


I've found you can get AdWords Editor to install if you work from the .msi file rather than the EditorSetup.exe file. The instructions here generally work; you might have to fiddle with your Wine settings a bit and make sure you get the right .msi version.

Remember that Google uses 4 digits in the version number for the .msi download. AdWords Editor 11.7 is at 11.7.0.0/google_adwords_editor.msi , for example.
