Exercise Pro 4 Setup terminates adruptly

[knapie]

Good day

I am trying to install Exercise Pro 4 in Ubuntu 15.04 using wine 1.7.50. This is my first time using wine to install windows based programs in Linux. The learning curve has been steep, but now I am officially stuck.

I am attempting to install expro4.exe in a new 32bit prefix, without installing .NET framework. When running the following command

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine "/media/hannes/1735012502D37500/Exercise Pro V4 Software/expro4.exe"

the installer starts up, but appears to hang for a while, probably 5 min. Once it resumes, it asks me to accept license, provide name and organisation information, select installation directory (I use default) and then starts the installation. After a bit of processing, the installer exits, without completing.

Please find log below:

Try winetricks mdac28.

[knapie]

Thank you for the assistance dimesio. Unfortunately it appears that mdac28 is already installed in the prefix:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks mdac28
Executing w_do_call mdac28
mdac28 already installed, skipping

[dimesio]

Try a clean wineprefix.

[knapie]

Great! Thank you!

Passed the first hurdle. Just for completeness sake, these were the steps:
1. Create new, clean 32 bit prefix
2. Install mdac28
3. Install expro4.exe

Installation completed.

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32Prefix2 winecfg
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32Prefix2 winetricks mdac28
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32Prefix2 wine "/media/hannes/1735012502D37500/Exercise Pro V4 Software/Demo32.exe"

Unfortunately, now, I am faced with the problem of the program crashing directly after launching it. Log below. Any pointers?

Try installing whatever version of .NET this app requires. The .NET installers are touchy, so I recommend starting with a clean 32 bit wineprefix, install .NET first, then install mdac28, then install your app.

Thank you for your help. I managed to get it running, eventually...

Installing dotnet and then mdac 28 as suggested did not work out as expected. This time round, when installing expro, I am greeted with a menu informing that the system must be restarted before installation can commence. When clicking on either "yes" or "no", the installer just exits. No reasonable log that I can attach.

Solution: Install expro as in post #5. Then install dotnet 2.0 SP2 and Jet 4.0 and voila, expro is working as expected.
