Unable to install Skyline MacCoss Lab

[Guilherme Lanfredi]

First, congratulations for initiative, wine and the reports posted here help me so much.
Well... I tried to install referred program on my Ubuntu with Wine but obviously don't work because some preparations are needed before. One of these preparation is the install .netframework 4.5 thar i don't have success to install too

Please can anyone help me install this program essential to my work?

I have a 32-bit interface
Thanks. I'm new here so if I did some wrong thing sorry.

I had a look, this seems to need native .net 4.5.1 and 3.5 sp1. 3.5 sp1 and 4.5 can be installed with winetricks (see here). I think I successfully installed 4.5.1 from the link in appdb. (I set win7 with winetricks since it uses that for 4.5, then reset to xp.)

Unfortunately that's about as far as I got. Running setup.exe just pops up a window (but never draws to it) and spews on console. I don't know where to start with reporting a bug for this. Sorry.

edit: With 'winetricks corefonts' something actually seems to happen. More soon, maybe.

e2: Well it worked once at random, that may or may not be necessary. Will try the offline installer tomorrow.

ok, it seems to work as far as I know, but it's not easy.

Make sure you have a recent wine, the latest is 1.7.41. Make a fresh wineprefix (I suggest 'export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-skyline' then 'winecfg', hit ok). Then get winetricks (cd $HOME/.wine-skyline/drive_c ; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winet ... winetricks).

The first wrinkle is winetricks doesn't want to let you install both .net 3.5sp1 and 4.5. You can edit winetricks, find the line 'w_metadata dotnet35sp1 dlls' then delete the line a few down from there reading 'conflicts="stuff" \'.

At some point get .net 4.5.1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=40779 - the filename should be NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

Then run these (there's a lot to download if you've never done this before and a bunch of dialogs to click 'I agree' and such):
sh winetricks corefonts
sh winetricks dotnet45
sh winetricks dotnet35sp1
sh winetricks win7
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=fusion=b wine NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe
sh winetricks win2k3

Then unzip the skyline installer and run setup.exe. (The default installer may work. It stalled for me the first time I tried so I just used the full download.)
'wine start Skyline.application' works to run it after that, I think. I started a tutorial and though it took a while seemed to work.

Admittedly that's a mess and there's a good chance something will go wrong. Running a windows vm may be less hassle.

Thanks, no problem if go wrong, you help me, that's important.
I will try this when a have a break.

[Guilherme Lanfredi]

i tried now but don't have success
I stoped on 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES=fusion=b wine NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe' command
The installation begins but don't finish for some windows update problem...

But OK for me, you help me too much and i'm in my second week on linux so... happy to learn

[spoon0042]

If that's the first dialog that comes up saying windows update is disabled or something you can click "continue". If it's something else... yeah this isn't really supported at the moment.
