Hey all -- First post, so first off thanks for creating this wonderful software and helping out new users like me adapt to the wine-way
Has anyone managed to get Windows/Mac only data analysis and vis suite Tableau Public (http://www.tableausoftware.com/public/download) running with any version Wine yet? It goes through the motions of installing, but then won't run. I'd welcome any help debugging and working through the problem to try and get it to work.
Hey, thanks for the help. I upgraded to 1.1.41 (which was in the repos at the time). I also reinstalled Tableau Public, but the launch from Wine wasn't successful. Here's the log from the terminal:
I'd love to know if there is a workaround for this. I need to run Tableau Desktop professional and would love to run it on my mac directly as it is extremely slow via Parallels.
It seems based on what I've read elsewhere that there is support for FlexLM under wine - it just needs to be started manually as a daemon first or something...

I got it installed and running past the license manager issues, albeit there are more issues...
Here is what I did:
1. Double-clicked TableauPublicDesktop.msi, ran the installation through until there was an error
2. Opened a wine command prompt and issued:
sc.exe qc tablicsrv
sc.exe qc "flexnet licensing service"
sc.exe sdshow "flexnet licensing service"
(As hinted on http://www.tableausoftware.com/forum/un ... 26%2523039;)
3. The commands above did not generate any output, but when I launched the installer again and pressed Install, it went past the installation point and launched the software.
Splash screen comes up but the program hangs with lots of "wineserver: file_set_error() can't map error: Operation not supported" in the wine error log.
Potentially, someone can make it work better from here? I have to study for 3 more exams so I do not have the time to file a proper bug report. Good luck!
OK, answering my own question it was the FlexNet issue above. I ran the commands suggested and got past the point I was at before, but the installation still failed. These are the errors:

Thank you, ~case
I work as a developer for Tableau Software and I have tried to get Tableau working with Wine on a Mac without luck -- it runs under Paralelles just fine.
In my attempts I was able to get past the FlexLM issues. I don't know if that was because FlexLM worked okay on a Mac or I was able to try a developer build that had the licensing removed. Even after that there were issues with the UI code under Wine. Under the covers Tableau does some fairly complex things with the drag and drop APIs that Wine is unable to cope with.
I look forward to the day when Tableau will run natiively on more platforms, but it isn't there yet.
