Help getting Plan3D to work???

[akibahara]

Hello. I have recently converted exclusively to Linux since I was only using Windows for a single program. I would love to get it working through WINE, but it looks like it's going to be more difficult than expected.

I downloaded the program file from http://plan3d.com/pages/memberInstallInstrucs.aspx . I dropped the .msi file into C:\windows/system32 then ran this code:

Code: Select all

wine start whatever.msi

The installer was a little funky and hard to read. The install appeared to fail until the UN/PW screen popped up. I entered that info and the loader splash appeared. I was hopeful, but at this point it failed. The program is showing in the menu, but when I click on it, it gives me the "Plan3d has encountered a serious error and needs to close" window.

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!!

What wine version? If it was not 1.3.29 please test in it. Also run in
the console to get a proper log remembering to close the crash window
because an important part of the log is printed after it's closed:

Use pastebin.com, avoid posting the log here.

Thank you for your response. I reinstalled WINE 1.3 and now the Configure Wine page has huge text. It won't let me scroll to see anything. Quick fix so we can get back to the Plan3D stuff?

Thank you.

Now, when I run the above commands I can see the error message:

Code: Select all

"The advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic."

When I try to run the code for the log, I get the message:

Code: Select all

wine: Bad EXE format for C:\windows\system32\plan3d.msi

When I try to run the code for the log, I get the message:

Code: Select all

wine: Bad EXE format for C:\windows\system32\plan3d.msi

Try

Code: Select all

wine msiexec /i plan3d.msi &> log.txt

Hover if you saying it's already installed, so it would be more interesting to see output from the program not installer.

Ok. How do I get that log?

Yes. That's what I followed for the log above. How do I get the log for the program rather than the installer?

Do the same thing, but run the program, not the installer.

I'm sorry. I don't use terminal all that often so I don't understand how to do that. More details would be appreciated.
