Re: Error running Vara scripts posted
Kelly:
Just so I am straight on your page here... I have upgraded a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 - 14ITL05 running Debian 12 as the host OS with an i3 (4 core 8 thread 3GHz), 36GB (4gb on board, upgraded with addt'l 32GB, 1TB NVMe. Wifi 6 onboard, USB3 1GB Ethernet dongle when needed. as my current 'dev box'. I am running VirtuaBox 6.1.50, Docker.io 20.10.5, getting ready to install KVM to virtualize ARM, getting ready to install Wine, and various other tools. some of my VB VMs are a Proxmox instance and a Debian 12 with Docker for disposable testing. Are you suggesting compiling Wine and winetricks from github for the 'latest and greatest' or something else? You may know I am not exactly a noob, but I am trying to get up to speed on some of the functionality for digital beyond APRS. Thoughts? -- = = = = ? Kevin? --? KD9EFV |

Well, I tried. I set a wine prefix for 32 bit. The comdlg32ecx DLL worked. Pdh-nt4 DLL wasn¡¯t listed. VB6run generated a sha error and asked me to go to a directory and rename an exe file. And, I got the ¡°some verbs are 32 bit and your Wine installation is 64 bit¡± error. Befuddled here¡ |
Re: Error running Vara scripts posted
Wine and Intel emulation is under heavy development advancements at the moment imo due to good advancements on stability and comparability? You can manually install still but - all of the automated tools to make this easy are undergoing a lot of active development? I would assume the latest winetricks is good but needs pulled from Git vs repo (very busy moving machine at the moment)? |

Hi Kelly - download path issue? Is that for Wine? VB6runtime and file signature issues¡ This quickly takes the process out of my comfort zone. Not your fault, obviously, but want to acknowledge your kind attention to my issue.

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted
to make a default prefix 32bit make sure there is no .wine folder and run
WINEARCH=win32 winetricks this will make a new 32bit .wine default profile. However I downloaded new and tried in a VM and seem to be getting failures in VB6runtime download due to file signatures - indicating the download path might be an issue again so .. ooof k |
Re: Error running Vara scripts posted
Yea after installing wine into your system is all it needs - raspberry is ARM and has additional complexity - wine on Intel is less difficult for sure?
Install DLL with winetricks by running "winetricks" from CLI
?press OK for 'default prefix'
?choose install a DLL or component
?Select some needed DLL and press OK to install
?comdlg32ocx, pdh-nt4, vb6run
?
?
Download Vara, VarAC, WineLink all at once if you want?
wget -r -A "*.zip" 'https://downloads.winlink.org/' unzip what you need and?
?from CLI you can run with "wine setup.exe" (or install.exe)?
?
copy all the OCX files in VARA rather then set paths or register
?cp ~/.wine/drive_c/VARA/OCX/* ~/.wine/drive_c/VARA/

Re: Error running Vara scripts posted
? I realize it¡¯s confusing but the scripts to install anything with vara related to this group as far as I know all fail currently you will want to Install wine with the operating system repro for best results? make the changes listed from winetricks and manually install every windows app you want? |

Thank you, Curt. You¡¯re correct. Not time wasted. Now, with a fresh Linux Mint install and NO/Zero Wine installed, can I follow Jason¡¯s script for installing VarAC? Good question, I know. I ran into issues with missing files in the Wine installation and was be-deviled by not being able to use the 32bit prefix. My system kept telling me ¡°You have a 64bit Wine installation.¡± I guess I also need to install 73Linux because that will get the two Vara modem programs¡ Note: I thought, via the Linux browser I could just download, unzip, and install the two modem programs. Is that wrong? I have bald patches now. HA! Thanks for your patience. Maybe I can help down the road when someone else needs hand-holding? Tim |
