WWB on Linux

Post by christiaan »

I've tried to install WWB 17 on Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon x64 using WINE (and WINETRICKS to install the missing Microsoft runtime mfc40.dll).

WWB starts fine with the activation screen, but it's not possible to start the workspace by clicking " Start trial ". It seems that WWB crashes after.

Does anybody tried to get WWB running on Linux Mint using WINE ?
(Keep in mind to use the corresponding Version of WWB to WINE - 32bit or 64bit)

I'm sorry, I cannot give support on running WYSIWYG Web Builder on Linux.
WINE only supports a limited part of the Windows API. For example, you will need Direct2D support. Also, the WINE implementation of Richedit is very restricted.

Thanks Pablo for your prompt response :-)

Perhaps a future version of WINE will support the needed Windows APIs.

To get WWB running on Linux you need to enter the following commands in a Linux terminal:
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5
export MANGOHUD=1
WWB 17 will start properly, but it is just experimental 8)

Edit:
You need to start WWB from the terminal using
wine WebBuilder.exe
The path is
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/WYSIWYG Web Builder 17
Keep in mind to configure WINE to use Windows 10.

WWB 17 does not work on Linux Mint Cinnamon with WINE.

Why should WWB 17 work on Linux WindowsFX, which is Linux Mint Cinnamon with a modified desktop (but is charged by USD 20,-) ?
