There was a similar topic of mine regarding this, but I think it got lost or
forgotten. Anyway, my question is now clearer, I guess.
I'm trying to get Multisim 10.0.1 to work with Wine, already updated to
1.3.7. I first installed it (demo version) on Windows, then copied the entire
National Instruments to my /home directory, and installed missing libraries and
jet40 from Winetricks. When I execute Multisim it throws an error saying the
installation is corrupted or licenses files cannot be found, with no Wine log.
Indeed, when I execute License Manager it shows no licenses, not even the demo
licenses themselves, which make Multisim to work.
In AppDB I read that some registry keys or values also need to be copied from
Windows, so I tried exporting the entire National Instruments key, or
"folder", from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/National Instruments and
import it in Wine in a clean prefix with "wine regedit
(nameofkey).reg". Didn't work. Tried to move the program's folder
to Wine's drive_C/Program files, no luck.
I was originally trying to run Multisim 11, for which I have my license. Seeing
the same behavior as 10.0.1 when trying it, I focused on it and I haven't
been able to solve it. Multisim is not recognizing the default license demo
files it comes with.
Am I missing other reg keys/values? Should MDAC also be installed? Any help this
time? Thank you.
