Closed Duedot43 closed 2 years ago

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

image I somewhat got SOLIDWORKS to install I used the dev version downloaded the install files as per the usual hung at installing VBA killed sldim went to the downloaded content thing tried manual install it failed launched sldworks.exe and it came up with this any ideas on how to fix it?

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

got past that screen by just launching it again now requesting activation from solidworks

SOLIDWORKS has been successfully licenced and attempts to launch but comes up with this error image

qwertychouskie commented 2 years ago

Maybe winetricks dotnet48 in the prefix would help, since the crash is related to mscoree?

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

says its broken on the latest wine version but I'm gonna try it anyway

qwertychouskie commented 2 years ago

Should work as long as your Wine is 6.7 or above. https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/blob/master/src/winetricks#L9710

its saying starting SOLIDWORKS with the older wine version I'm using the flatpak proton version in the dev script I will give it a few minutes to launch because of my slow computer

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

SOLIDWORKS successfully launches the first time but not a second I have to install dotnet48 again for it to launch

cryinkfly commented 2 years ago

It could be that it has to be installed a second time with the --force option.

Fore example: winetricks -q --force dotnet48

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

That's the only way I could install it with just flatpak run (proton thing don't remember the name at the moment) winetricks -q dotnet48 it says the wine version is too old and won't work so it makes me use the --force to install it

Duedot43 commented 2 years ago

steps on how I install it for anyone who needs it: run the latest dev release dev release drops outrun the portion of the code that goes into flatpak proton bash shell

cd $HOME && cd Downloads && mkdir -p solidworks && cd solidworks && wget https://dl-ak.solidworks.com/nonsecure/sw2020/sw2020_sp04.0_f/x64/200715.002-1-QA7UDVC9/SolidWorksSetup.exe &&

wine SolidWorksSetup.exe

download and attempt an install install hangs at installing VBA killall sldim.exe run setup.exe from downloaded files (SOLIDWORKS-Downloads/SOLIDWORKS-2020-SP04/swwi/data/setup.exe) install solidworks standard install fails open sldworks.exe from the attempted install folder and should come up with an error with verifying the key open sldworks.exe again from the attempted install folder and REGISTER THE PRODUCT crashes with error when launching with flatpak proton run flatpak run org.winehq.flatpak-proton-68-ge-1 winetricks -q --force dotnet48 launch sldworks.exe again and this time it should launch successfully

note: ALWAYS USE FLATPAK PROTON FROM THE DEV RELEASE TO LAUNCH EXE FILES and run in the default bottle

Another note this is on the latest Ubuntu

A few notes about using solidworks it can't find its toolbox folder and it's fonts are kind of messed up they appear then slowly dissipate and if you switch windows while smart dimension is loading it's little window prompt it will freeze and crash
