PDXplorer Viewer installation

Post by Shaymazor »

Hey guys,
For the life of me, I can't succeed in installing this app: https://www.pdxplorer.com/pdxplorer-pdx-viewer.htm
Can anyone give it a shot and see?
I'm on a M1 PRO macbook.
thanks!

On Linux (Debian Sid) with Wine 7.12, the installation does work.
To start the program the .Net 4.0 Framework must be installed.

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dotnet40

If something works on Linux doesn’t mean it’s going to work on a 64Bit only version of macOS along with Apple silicon using Rosetta2 for translation.

In this case it may simply be a no go with upstream wine until there WoW64 implementation had been completed. More than lightly CrossOver or another third-party utility may be required.

You're right.
My comment was more intended to indicate that the program also needs a workaround under Linux.
