I have the same problem. I believe we'll need to install PowerShell

Hi, here`s a winetricks script I made for this a time ago.
You could try it, copy paste somewhere in winetricks, and than do "winetricks powershell20" (do in new fresh prefix)

I uploaded whole script here:

Hi,

first of all: MANY and MANY thanks for your hard work! This script helped me and other neewbie linux users! Thanks again a lot!
Waves Central 11 is successfully installed on my Linux Mint 19.03_ Cinnamon x64 system, but when I open it, the CPU starts working without opening any screens:
in the images below you can see the time when you see the CPU working at empty.

Is there a command to run at the terminal that maybe can help us understand what is blocking the CPU?

Thanks again for all!!!

Again very late reply, apologies; Forgot about this until i found the installer again on my disk. I opened a bugreport here:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49460

I was bored and to kill some time I tried if I could get it running with Powershell Core.
Below an ugly wrapper patch that allowed me to get up to the login screen. Though powershell and Powershell Core are really different , a great bunch of commands might just work in Powershell Core, at least enough to get Waves to the login Screen.

After applying patch and compile wine, you`d have to
1. install Powershell Core from https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShel ... in-x64.msi
2. Copy where.exe from some windows-drive (c;\\windpows\\{system32/syswow64} to wine`s {system32 /syswow64} folder
3. Start installer, let it install. It still errors out with that messagebox when started from the installer (don`t know why), but if i run it from the directory where it`s installed, it starts up to the login screen (if it starts to update to new version you get same error; just try start it again)

Hi,

someone managed to install WavesCentral into system? Can anyone help me please?

regards

[qwertymnb]

Hi Codesound,

Try recipe here https://github.com/PietJankbal/powershe ... r-for-wine

Also have a look at issues at that page, as Waves 12 runs into new problem about "permission" issues (there`s an issue about that on that page with possible workarounds)
