Solidworks 2010 Installation Manager Crashs!

grlongo · Post by **grlongo** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 12:05 am

Hi mates,

I've been through several pages looking for help without success!
I am trying to run SolidWorks 2010 on wine 1.1.24 and i get the following error:

The Installation Manager encountered a problem with the Microsoft Web Browser control and must be shut down.....

I've already used winetricks to install ie7 and the error persist.
Does any one have performed a successful installation of SW2010?

Or any clue on how to solve that problem??
Thanks a lot!

Start from removing all overrides. The more native dlls you use in Wine the less chances of things working at all.

Thanks mate.
When you mean overrides you also mean downloads from winetricks????

Simply run this:

mv ~/.wine{,.old}
wineboot

And try again.

Some time ago I was able to run previous version of SolidWorks in Wine and
even create something in it (2D sketch) but there was too many bugs (for
example, it crashed when I tried to create a feature). And installing it in
Wine wasn't trivial. I already reported first bug that blocks SolidWorks normal
installation. Here it is: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17089 . If you
experience same problem as this bug describes you may want to to register in
the bugzilla and vote for it. I didn't try to install SolidWorks 2010 in Wine
but your error looks like exactly the same error that blocks normal
installation of SolidWorks 2009 in clean Wine.

In the past somebody reported that SolidWorks 2009 works in Wine with just a
few workarounds: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=6993 . You can try
workarounds mentioned there with SolidWorks 2010. Please note that I didn't
tried those workarounds myself.
