Suuntolink PnPutil.exe issue

[6u1d0]

Hy,
I am trying to run Suuntolink (required to sync a Ambit2 watch with its online setup) with wine-5.0.2 on LMDE.
I found this report on Moveslink2 (former app same usage but killed by Suunto). So for the same reasons, the installer doesn't work, and I am trying to use suuntolink files from a windows10 installation.
I am ruuning in some PnPutil.ex issue. Here's a report log created by Suuntolink.exe (found in \users\***\Application Data\Suuntolink)

First issue seems to be that PnPutil.exe isn't where expected. I googled for some informations on PnPutil.exe, but got nothing revelant. I'd appreciate any information, work around or trick regarding PnPutil.exe.

Thanks.

I tried the SuuntoLink (version 3.5.2) installer.

Although the installer does not work, it is possible to unpack and run the program manually.

The program seems to work with Wine 6.8, but whether it will recognize the watch is the question. The program tries to install a Windows driver with pnputil, but also looks for an FTDI driver that is built into the Linux kernel.

In other words, update Wine and try again.

Ok. Thanks.
I'll give a try upgrading wine.
Just for upgrading my knowledge, do you mean that a FTDI driver could do the job and that puputil might not be compulsory ?

I'm also attempting to use SuuntoLink. I was able to install and run SuuntoLink using Wine 6.9.

However, the watch (Ambit 2R) is not recognized. Getting SuuntoLink to recognize the watch is normally flaky on Windows in my experience.

I'm new to Wine so I'm not really sure where to look for troubleshooting information.

Hi tconnelly3,
If you have Suuntolink starting, you need 2 things for connecting your watch :

1- Set a rule for you linux hidraw device to have the correct rights for your USB watch :

Code: Select all

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openambitproject/openambit/master/src/libambit/libambit.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/libambit.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

2- Disable the use of SDL to discover and communicate with HID devices in Wine :

Code: Select all

wine regedit

Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WineBus], add a DWORD Key named "Enable SDL" with a 00000000 value.

(I have Suuntolink 4.0.2 working with wine-staging on my Ubuntu 20.04).
