Hi!
I've been trying to install Microstation V8i, wich is for me the best
multipurpouse CAD in the world , far better that Autocad, I've spent some
hours doing several tests. The only way I found was with a virtual box emulation
but with low performance, but would rock if I could run it natively.
The installation of Microstation v8i is divided in two parts.
1) prerequisite pack installlation
2) program installation
The prerequisite pack installation crashes and does not start to install.
Without the prerequisites installed, the aplication wont run.
I created an application entry with more dtails in the appdb:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18093
you can freely download the prerequisite packs from the link in the database
entry. They're from microstation reseller.
I first thought that the problem was the net 3.5 but as you'll see the older
prerequisite packs install the following elements: These are from previous XM
version. Still a cool version.
* Windows Installer 3.1v2
* Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, .NET service packy a hot fixy
* DirectX 9c
* MSXML 4 with Service Pack 2
* VBA 6.4
I installed via winetricks Dx9, MSXML4 & NET1&2 BUT didnt work.
When I run these prerequisite packs, they're unziped in the
"virtual" windows C. And from there I launch the setup.exe. It starts
to ru but sudendly vanishes.
I ran the process using the console but didnt saw any interesting. I tried this
to run with Crosover and also did not work.
I would please ask to someone to help me to see what is going wrong
Thaks in advance.
