Problems running 3D-Tool free

[Jijil]

Hello,
This is my first post here so I hope to do things right (I'm a beginner with Wine).

Problem: I can start the application 3D Tool Free (https://www.3d-tool.com/en_free-viewer-download.htm) (*)

It does install smoothly but the applications hangs with an error box. I don't know what I can provide to you and how, but general errors state an exception "EInvalidGraphic", and call stack "Vcl.Graphics : InvalidGraphic".

I'm using Lubuntu 16.10 and Linux Mint 18.1. With both versions, I tried Wine 2.6, and Wine staging 2.7, both working "as" Windows 7 32 bit mode.
I'm using PlayOnLinux as wrapper to start Wine.

Could you help me? Should I provide further informations?
Thank you by advance.

(*) this 3D Tool free is just amazing to inspect 3D models before printing.

You should make sure, that you have proper 3d hardware acceleration. If you are using an NVIDIA or AMD GPU, do you have the proprietary drivers installed? If on 64bit linux, you also will have to install 32bit graphics driver part.

What is the output of "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" (run in terminal)?

Please open a terminal and run wine and your application from there, e.g. (your paths may be different, I just accepted the defaults)

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/3D-Tool\ FreeViewer\ V12
wine 3D-Tool-Free.exe

Post the output.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer

I actually tried on 2 computers:
- HP Probook 650 G2, with Intel Graphics HD 520 display adapter
- Lenovo Thinkpad T420 (Nvidia Optimus Display. I must check which driver I use, but I think it is "nouveau".

Here follows the glxinfo log you requested, for the Intel (HP Probook 650 G2):

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: Humper
OpenGL renderer string: Chromium
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.40 - Build 21.20.16.4534

I hope it helps... Thanks again

And here is the output of "wine 3D-Tool-Free.exe":

I'm using Lubuntu 16.10 and Linux Mint 18.1. With both versions, I tried Wine 2.6, and Wine staging 2.7, both working "as" Windows 7 32 bit mode.
I'm using PlayOnLinux as wrapper to start Wine.
...

I can get the application to start in a 32-bit WINEPREFIX - set to Windows XP.
I can reproduce the issue (failure to startup) with the default WINEPREFIX setting of Windows 7.

See WineHQ FAQ: 6.5 Wineprefixes ...
Then:

Code: Select all

winetricks winxp

To set your (newly created) 32-bit WINEPREFIX to Windows XP.

Tested with Wine Staging 2.8.

aaand... it works!
Thank you so much!

Beyond that: is my win7 choice mistaken or just not yet fully supported by wine?

Wine was moved over to using Windows 7 as the default for new WINEPREFIX's - from Wine Development version 2.2.
This change was purely to encourage bug reports to filed against the newer Windows API's (introduced with Windows Vista) - which still have quite immature support in Wine.
So nothing you've done!

OK, this is clearer!
If this experience can help, let me know what to share to improve Wine
