Cannot load .sdf - file. Can this be solved?

[dsonlinux]

Hello,

I am running wine 7.0.1~jammy-1 on Kubuntu 22.04LTS.
A program I'd like to use installed without error but does not start. Running the .exe leads to a popup saying that a .sdf file could not be loaded. Re-starting the program might help. It does not .

Is there maybe any library I could add that helps to solve that problem?

Maybe we can help you if you give a little more information.
Start the program from the command line. This will allow you to see messages from Wine that may help troubleshoot problems.
Or maybe we can reproduce the problem if you give the name of the program.

Seems the main issue lies within "Microsoft SQL Server Compact" ?

[jkfloris]

Unfortunately, the built-in version of .Net in Wine (wine-mono) cannot run this program. With Microsoft's version of .Net, the program does seem to work.
The easiest way is to use winetricks to install .Net

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dotnet48 corefonts

In my case, the Welcome screen was black. I was able to solve this by installing d3dcompiler_47.

Code: Select all

winetricks -q d3dcompiler_47

Interesingly, after some minutes some popups came up installing .NET ...
But still, no success in starting the program.

Using winetricks 20210206 ...

This version of winetricks is too old to know that this problem has been fixed in Wine 7.0.1.
You can update winetricks with:

Code: Select all

sudo winetricks --self-update
# and try again
winetricks -q dotnet48 corefonts

[dsonlinux]

Thank you again, jkfloris! I am now able to start the program.

When I try to load a map to change the climate data, the program crashes.
I believe a VM with a windows installation would be better. Who knows which subprograms would crash when I need them.

[jkfloris]

You could try to run the program with wine-devel or wine-staging.
