[Wine] Re: autocad 2008 and wine

[miciomax]

Now some tricky stuffs. It's MUCH better (IMO) to have each wine application installed in a "separate bottle", i.e. in a different wineprefix, as some dll overrides that work for one can made another unusable.
So, inside terminal (you have it still open, do you ? :-) ):

Code:

export WINEPREFIX=/home/yourusername/.wine-acad



where 'yourusername' is, strangely, Your User Name !
Now configure wine... just the audio stuff, rest is ok for now

Code:

winecfg



Now you NEED a dll from windows xp, in detail 'shlwapi.dll'. If you don't, you'll run autocad
but you'll be NOT able to register it, so just demo mode.
Well, grab the dll and copy it inside

Code:

~/.wine-acad/drive_c/windows/system32



now, again configure wine and set shlwapi.dll as NATIVE :

Code:

winecfg
(select Libraries, then dig and find shlwapi and set it as native)




Now, inside the terminal, CD to your autocad install folder (can be on cd or on a local copy), where the 'setup.exe' file is located.
BEWARE, don't close terminal, or if you did you must do again the

Code:

export WINEPREFIX=/home/yourusername/.wine-acad




Before installing, last step....using winetricks you MUST install DOTNET20 and MSXML3.

Code:

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
./winetricks (and select COREFONTS, DOTNET2.0 and MSXML3)




Now, just install autocad as usual :

Code:

wine setup




Now you can close terminal; you can create a launcher on desktop to run autocad; the command line is

Code:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/yourusername/.wine-acad"  wine "C:/Programmi/AutoCAD 2005/acad.exe"




Well, if you've got english, replace 'Programmi' with 'Program Files', of course.

Ciao
