fails with "Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6 Setup was not completed successfully."
I found old posts in the forum but nothing about this message...
A lot of MS Windows installers need workarounds to install successfully under Wine.
In fact the key reason for the existence of (and need to use) the winetricks Wine helper script.
Please ensure that you are using an up-to-date version of Wine - current release is: 6.0-rc3 - and winetricks - for your (unspecified) Linux distribution.
Debian, Ubuntu and Mint all package obsolete versions of these packages.
Exact...
(I had installed stable version 5.0.3....)
But after correction, I have the same message...
vb6run intalls correctly, but when I try to install setupsp6.exe, it stops with this message.
Thank you anyway !
... you may have better luck with wine-staging rather than stable or devel. Or it still may fail, the microsoft installers are tricky and there aren't any recent reports on appdb: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... n&iId=4647
To be clear, you're trying to install Visual Studio, you don't just need the runtime? Because that's much easier.
