Thanks drunka, you pointed me to the solution.

Important, you have to use the latest git version from winetricks (not from apt repository)

Code: Select all

$ wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks -O ~/bin/winetricks
$ winetricks winhttp
$ wine globalprimemt4setup.exe
Then copy a valid wingding.ttf to /usr/share/wine/wine/fonts/* (yes, double wine folder here on debian!)

Now it works :good:

Only problem I have found until now is I can't use templates. Do you also have that problem?

In wine configurations try to set the Windows-Version to XP or if that's not working give the other versions a try

I've tried XP, Win7,... but applying a template to a chart wasn't possible :|

Do this work on your wine Empty4?

Yes I have no problems with Empty4. Running it in wine 1.8 before I had not problems in 1.6.2 either. You could try another wine version via playonlinux.
Just tested the GP Empty4 version and loading and saving templates works without problems. You could also try to reinstall Empty4 or try a version installed in windows and see the problem still occurs.

Ok, then I think it must be some additional (winetricks) package(s) I may miss... :| (like winhttp you mentioned)

Can you show me your output of

Code: Select all

 winetricks list-installed
or/and

Code: Select all

winetricks settings list

Ok, I managed to fix the last problem on linux running Empty4 with wine :clap:

Summary:

Important, you have to use the latest git version from winetricks (not from apt repository)

Code: Select all

$ wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks -O ~/bin/winetricks
$ winetricks winhttp
$ wine globalprimemt4setup.exe
Then copy a valid wingding.ttf to /usr/share/wine/wine/fonts/* (yes, double wine folder here on debian!)

Problem I had after that was I can't use/apply/save templates (*.tpl).

I've found that
Loading and saving issues are because Empty4 requires commdlg32.dll version 6.0.0. You must install dot net 3.5 using winetricks. However, this will only work on a 32-bit wine prefix. Before installing Empty4, make sure you are installing it to a 32-bit wine prefix. You can install dot net 3.5 later, you just won't be able to load and save presets, save templates, etc. until you do.
So after doing

Code: Select all

$ winetricks dotnet35
(which installs a bunch of packages on the fly) I now can select/open/apply/save templates in Empty4 8-)

Also a good hint I found...
Wine needs to be slightly configured for this to run perfectly.
Go to Wine > Configure Wine > Graphics.
Once in Graphics, uncheck 'Allow the window manager to decorate the windows'. Then it runs flawlessly.
P.S.: Thread title should also contain "Linux" beside "Windows 10" ;)

I do not mind, but would it help you guys to have a separate Linux forum? Let me know.

Thanks... but I don't think we need an extra forum for linux here at the moment. Everything a linux user need to run Empty4 on his plattform is in this thread already :good:

(Linux still don't have the scope on desktop so not too much topics would go into this subforum)

I've finally made the leap from windoze to Ubuntu. Been meaning to do this for some time and the corruption of doze 7 which led to corruption of my GP Empty4 was the final straw.

Ubuntu up and running, wine up and running, Empty4 up and running - looking sweet.
