I'm trying to run some Windows programs that rely on using the serial port with a data slicer interface and a .SYS or .VXD file that under Windows is necessary to transfer the information from the serial port to the application... At least I think this is how it works.
In Wine these apps are complaining that they can't find the .SYS/.VXD files. In Windows these .SYS and .VXD files are installed using a .INF file. How do I install stuff that relys on .INFs to register the files?
Serial Port Data Slicer applications
Re: Serial Port Data Slicer applications
Wine does not support hardware drivers. If this program can't talk to the serial port without it's own driver it won't work on Wine.mocham wrote:In Wine these apps are complaining that they can't find the .SYS/.VXD files.
