msiexec and WINE 1.6.2

[oygle]

Installed WINE 1.6.2 as it is the latest stable release

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/msifiles
wine msiexec /a SPLINK_Monitor.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\\msifiles

fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x103e2b8, overlapped 0x103e2d0): stub
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x112e890, overlapped 0x112e89c): stub
wine: configuration in '/home/*********/.wine' has been updated.

The msi file was downloaded from http://www.selectronic.com.au/sppro/splink.htm

I read a post somewhere that WINE cannot access USB ports. As this software accesses a USB port to gain information from an inverter, then I have to assume WINE will not be able to run this software.

If the device requires a Windows hardware driver, it won't work in Wine. If the communication with the device is serial over USB, it might work with Wine by mapping a COM port to the device. https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-gui ... ure#AEN901
