FL Studio Installation Failed (Installer is not well configured.) #337

Open maureenferreira opened 2 months ago

errornullvoid commented 2 months ago

I was hoping to use the pre-configured installer with the old version since the latest version is unstable with VST plugins but I also ran into the same issue. You can get FL to run if you manually create a bottle and install FL but adding any VST plugin to it at all and sometimes using the pre-installed ones will cause FL to freeze. I have not found a single way to run FL with wine and have it work in a practical sense.

I was able to manually get FL Studio working in Bottles

  1. Create a new bottle
  2. Install the "allfonts" dependency
  3. Disable DXVK
  4. Run the FL Studio installer (doesn't render properly with DXVK enabled for some reason)
  5. After a while the installer will hang on a "WebView" thing, you can just kill the "WebView" process and the installer will finish

Now FL Studio should launch, but FLEX crashes, I got it working again by re-enabling DXVK. Then I had problems with fabfilter, but I solved that by installing vcrun6 (which is called vcredist6 in bottles)

I was unable to install it. "Installer poorly configured" or whatever. RIP.

Sounds like you're running the program installer (going to the bottle -> Install Programs... -> and then choosing FL Studio in that list) but what I meant when I said "FL Studio installer" is not that installer but the actual FL Studio executable installer that you manually download.

More precisely, I did: bottle -> Run Executable... (at the top) -> choose the executable, for example "FL.Studio.v24.1.2.4394.exe".

Hi, got that working and finished installing it, but I don't know how to launch FL. I double-checked the installation location (C:\Program FIles\Image-Line\FL Studio 2024) But going there with my file manager I can't find it. Maybe it's an issue with where I downloaded the installer?

Well, when mine finished installing it actually automatically made a shortcut on my desktop, but it also popped up inside the bottle (1) which can be ran with the play button (2):

Remember that Bottles has its own paths, I don't know where you went with your file manager, so your safest bet to actually check the files is by hitting the kebab menu (3), meaning the three vertical dots, and clicking "browse files" from the menu that drops down, then you can see if the files are there. If they're not then I guess it didn't install properly, try again.
