Fusion360 does not launch and always tries to update *solved*

[Na-Cly]

When launching fusion360 after running the install script It tries to update, downloads the file, and then produces this error:

0009:err:module:__wine_process_init L"C:\windows\system32\.exe" not found

Here's the full output when launching and allowing it to download the update.

Hi all,

I'm facing a very similar behavior, excep the error message, after downloading the latest fusion 360 version the window is just closed without any error message: _

Any time I try to start the appliation the same procedure starts over again.

[cryinkfly]

@McT73 Can you look here:

/home/martin/.wineprefixes/fusion360/drive_c/users/martin/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API

if there is the version.txt. When it doesn't exists then create this file and save there current version number!

[Na-Cly]

@cryinkfly I tried creating that file and putting in the version number, but the launch is the same every time it just reads the version number before trying to update.

[mcbb2001]

I've gotten back into this after a bit of a pause for school; I got it working a few days ago however since what I think is a new update I've been having the same issue. Another discord server that I'm in noted that they just changed the fusion360 logo so they could've had a bigger update that broke something. I'm not nearly as experienced with this so no idea what the issue could actually be, just shooting and seeing what sticks

One thing I did note is I looked under the directory you posted a few comments up and that directory didn't exist (not sure if that's written on first launch), and therefore version.txt didn't exist either. manually adding the directories did work

[joelawm]

I had this error even after adding the version.txt, I am on pop_os 22.04 though and there is not install option for that.

The install also does not add a .desktop file for the launcher.sh anymore.

[lukinoway]

I tried to install Fusion 360 on my Fedora 35 machine, and had the same error. adding version.txt for sure helped, but now I'm stuck with the same message as @joelawm was mentioning.

wine: could not open working directory L"unix\\home\\<USER>\\.config\\fusion-360\\bin\\", starting in the Windows directory.

[spennydl]

I'm running into this issue too and have done a little digging

I don't think the could not open working directory error is relevant here, rather the next line:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.

The launcher.sh script runs find to try and locate Fusion360.exe as the directory name it's installed under changes from release to release. After a fresh install Fusion360.exe is nowhere to be found in my wineprefix, so the find command comes up empty.

There is a FusionLauncher.exe, but attempting to run that gives me an error that reads "FusionLauncher.exe.ini can't be found, please reinstall" error.

I don't have a fix, but wanted to share my findings so far. It looks like something has either changed with Fusion360 or the installation didn't complete correctly. It would be interesting to know if anyone else who is having this error has Fusion360.exe present in their wineprefix.

[JacobWarners]

I ended up getting it to work and after all the tinkering I can't figure out what worked. So for me I originally had this error. Then used the uninstall to remove it from .wineprefixes and .wine which I had it in both. I then restarted the install script from the .config folder and after creating the .wine folder again I targeted it. Once this was done I had to go in and change the launcher script to point to the .wine location. I didn't have to add the update file to the location listed above as it seemed to place it properly.

/home/martin/.wineprefixes/fusion360/drive_c/users/martin/AppData/Roaming/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API

Randomly after a reboot and trying to just load it on a windows virtual box I just frustratedly ran it again and it worked! I was then able to design what I needed. Let me know if this helps anyone!

[joelawm]

I also am missing the fusion360.exe in /home/$useer/.wineprefixes/fusion360/

[3nt3]

bump, noticing the same behavior when trying to install

[Noxdor]

I am running into the same issues. I tried to remove and reinstall it like @JacobWarners suggested, but unfortunately that didn't work for me.

I also looked into the from @spennydl mentioned FusionLauncher.exe in (for me) /home/name/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/6a0c9611291d45bb9226980209917c3d. The required FusionLauncher.exe.ini is right next to it, but empty besides the text This is a place-holder file which is intended to be updated by the streamer..

I am also missing the Fusion360.exe.

Hope this helps someone with more wine knowledge to figure this out.

[spennydl]

I just realized that there's already an issue open for the missing Fusion360.exe issue: #215. OP @Na-Cly appears to have a different issue with the missing system32.exe, possibly a bad wine config or install? Either way we may want to move the discussion about missing Fusion360.exe over to #215. I haven't had a chance to look at it again since yesterday but if I figure something out I'll update over there.

[cryinkfly]

So I've already noticed that there are problems with some. For some it can be caused by, for example, Winetricks not being able to download the packages when the servers are being maintained. Furthermore, I noticed that the language of the system + Wine also plays an important role. In any case, I'm already working on a solution and will try to solve these problems and others with the upcoming update!

In any case, it should be said here: Thanks to everyone who supports me in my work and also helps other people here in my community!!! ❤️

[BaronVonSatchel]

I think this is the same issue or closely related to #224, which was closed because the OP managed to get it working, but does not know what was actually changed that make it work. The problem seems to be the script downloads the installer, but fails to actually install F360. So when it is checking for updates, anything other than nothing at all counts as a "new version." But the installer still fails every time so it never breaks the cycle. If you try to run it manually from the command line, a graphical issue causes it to show a blank white window. This happens across both AMD and Nvidia GPUs, I don't know if anyone has tried with Intel integrated graphics. EDIT: Both me and the OP of #224 are on Linux Mint 20.

[maximevince]

Same issue here on Arch Linux. Fusion is not actually installed (no .exe found) and the launcher script tried to update all the time.

Just tried a new install on two EL8 boxes and get the same error: --2022-05-25 20:21:32-- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/main/files/builds/stable-branch/bin/build-version.txt Resolving raw.githubusercontent.com (raw.githubusercontent.com)... 2606:50c0:8002::154, 2606:50c0:8001::154, 2606:50c0:8003::154, ...

I looked and I don't have an Autodesk directory in Roaming directory.

I have now also this problem!!! It looks like so that Autodesk has some changed things!

I'm having the same issue, Fusion360.exe seems to be missing (here's bash -x launcher.sh output):
