installing with wine failure

Postby dragonfly » Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:21 pm

My hobby is genealogy and I use the gramps program. However I was given a windows program, for fathers day, called Creative Memories ... Memory Manager 3.0. I tried installing it with wine and met with failure. This program is not a genealogy program but more of a program to manage certain photos and memories to compliment my research. I would appreciate any help in getting it installed on my system.
Thanking everyone in advance.

As long as it isn't direct x required.

Vbox windows is always the better more stable option.

That said, that program isn't even mentioned on wine HQ. I would not even know were to start lol.

As a rule of thumb, knowing required packages and setting them up in wine setup is always needed.

Thanks for the quick reply, I know .NET 3.5 is required and I tried to install .NET 3.5 using wine tricks but no such luck. It seems .Net 3.5 is still in the experimental stage for linux. I was hoping some one might have some ideas. When you say use Vbox, do you mean I can install it without a windows OS installed in Vbox.

No

Using virtualbox to install a windows mode. (windows disk/license required)

I'm still a little confused here, on your inset you show a windows 7 mode. Is that the same as a windows 7 OS. Also I see you have Ultimate Edition 3.0 lite on you vbox, where did you down load that from, I would love to try it as Ultimate Edition 2.9 takes up approx 9G on my optiplex sx270 which is only a 40G hard drive. I really don't need XFCE and KDE desktops I never use them.
I want to thank you for taking the time to help me here.
I agree with you anything to do with windows is always a pain in the wallet LOL

I installed Ultimate Edition 3.0 lite and gave it a whirl. I went back to 2.9 tho because I guess once you get hooked on the Ultimate Edition there's no way you are going to change willingly to anything else.
Thanks for the tip tho and it was fun giving it a shot. I still haven't solved my problem with installing Memory Manager 3.0 yet. I have heard "mono" might be a solution but haven't a clue what "mono" is. Maybe someone who has used "mono" could explain it to me.

just take your full license and install it to vbox so it runs in linux.

"Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications. Sponsored by Xamarin, Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Runtime. A growing family of solutions and an active and enthusiastic contributing community is helping position Mono to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications. "

Sounds like it might be what you need .. google mono linux for the web page.
