Sketchup 8 needs XP SP 2

[mark.kampe]

I am running 13.04, and did an apt-get install wine.
I downloaded the latest SketchPp installer (doesn't get far enough to give me a version)
I ran: wine ~/Downloads/SketchUpWEN.exe, which failed on a pre-requesites check.
The details (from install.log):

Code: Select all

The following properties have been set:
Property: [AdminUser] = true {boolean}
Property: [InstallMode] = HomeSite {string}
Property: [ProcessorArchitecture] = AMD64 {string}

'Microsoft Windows' RunCheck result: Fail

As a sanity check I found a copy of SketchUp 7 (Pro) and downloaded and installed it.
It runs like a champ (until it gets to the license check). Is this a recent change to
SketchUp 8's requirements that nobody else has hit? Is there something else I should
have installed or configured on my system.

I downloaded the latest version of SketchUp Make (as the free version is now called), and it installed and started up without any problems for me in 1.5.31 with default settings.

You didn't say what Wine version you're using; if it's not the latest development release, upgrade. Also, make sure you have a clean wineprefix--no winetricks or other tweaks, nothing else installed. If it still doesn't work, post terminal output.

I just upgraded from the ubuntu stable version to 1.5.31, and the exact same thing happened again.
(the install log says it found 5.1.3 when it needed 5.2.2)

The console output is:

Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

Install wine-gecko.

[mark.kampe]

I ignored that warning because I got a corrupted package error when wine tried to auto-install the package, and the warning (about html rendering) did not seem applicable to the problem (version mismatch). There does not seem to be a wine-gecko for Raring, but I installed the latest 2.21 (for precise?) and re-ran the install again, and it failed again with the exact same complaints (about version mismatch). The console output is

If your distro doesn't package it, you can download wine-gecko from Sourceforge and install it manually. http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

When you retest, do it in a clean wineprefix. If your OS is 64 bit, create a 32 bit wineprefix with

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg

then install to that. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix

Thank you very much. That solved my problem.
It installed flawlessly and now seems to be working very well.
