Cannot install EA on Linux under Wine
« on: August 19, 2015, 10:08:20 pm »
Hi,
I have successfully been running EA 11 on Linux/Ubuntu for years but I am having difficulties installing EA 12 (downloaded as of today) under Wine on my Ubuntu 15.4 box. Following the instructions given at http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/faq/enterprise-architect-WINE.html#wine I end up with no luck:

Preparations (steps 1 through 3) work fine, but the install itself (step 4) does not work.
Instructions say: In the terminal, run
Code: [Select]
$ wine easetupfull.exe
However, the installer is called easetupfull.msi.
So,
Code: [Select]
$ wine easetupfull.msi will produce
Code: [Select]
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\place\Downloads\easetupfull.msi.
Using
Code: [Select]
$ wine start easetupfull.msi or
Code: [Select]
$ wine msiexec /i easetupfull.msi will produce the Enterprise Architect Setup box: Welcome to the Enterprise Architect  Setup Wizard.
Clicking the Next button, however, produce no new dialogue box. Error messages are written to the terminal:
Code: [Select]
fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 stub
fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub
fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 stub
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
place@place-HP-EliteBook-2570p:~/Downloads$ fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet
The process will need a Ctrl-C to end.


Does anybody know how to make it work?

Cheers

I'd try to download the msi once again.
