Install WordPerfect-X8 under Wine-3

[aqk]

I just started using WINE-3 and am attempting to install Corel Wordperfect-X8 on it.
The user WANTS those "reveal codes" that are unique to WP!
So when I try to install it, I get a
Downloading. Please Wait.
downloading.... 0%
and then a few seconds later, a popup error:
"You must be connected to the Internet.
Please connect and try again"

Currently the icon command that I am using on my Ubuntu 17.10 screen is
env WINEPREFIX="/home/xxxme/.wine" wine D:\\WordPerfectOfficeX8.exe

Any idea why it thinks that I am not connect to the Internet?

Please retest this application in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX.
E.g.:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32
WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -u

Note: you'll need the WINEPREFIX env variable set in every terminal session you use that 32-bit WINEPREFIX in.
See: WineHQ FAQ: 6.5.3 How do I create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system?

Since there is not even a listing of this application version (X8) on WineHQ AppDB you'll have to just test out the installer and see what the console output is... Before attempting any dll overrides or such!

Please get a stdout+stderr debug log from Wine... See: WineHQ FAQ: 10.1.1 How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. terminal output)?

But please ensure you use the forum Code:

Code: Select all

Code

tags if you post this terminal output inline... Makes posts wayyy easier to read!
