I try to run Solmis application ( a professional application running only on Windows ) on Kubuntu 12.10 but there is nothing after splash screen display..
I first tried with Wine 1.4 but the run failed with an error message before splash screen display so I tried with latest Wine development version (1.5-25) taken from PPA
The problem encountered with 1.24 seems to have been solved as the execution reach the splash screen but after splash screen there is no nothing more.
You can find in attachment the log file I obtain.
For information Solmis is available here http://solmis.agoraplus.com/ZippedInstall/Install.zip and the start file is Solmis.client.Application
It needs Framework .net 4.0 to work, I sucessfully installed it using latest version of winetricks
The command to launch the applications is env WINEPREFIX=/home/quickux/.wine wine start /ProgIDOpen Application.Manifest S
olmis.Client.application
I contacted the editor of this application on year ago to ask multi-platform support, at this time it was a website accessible only with IE and ActiveX, but the new application Solmis shows that they don`t care about our request
...It also doesn't work with latest dev version of mono due to that lack of support of WPF
The only solution I have up to now is to buy a Windows licence and to make it run in a VM using qemu or virtual box
This is the only one, but blocking, point that prevent my father PC to 100% linux based as the use of this application is mandatory for his work
.I would rather prefer to be able to run it directly in linux using Wine
Thanks for your help
