Error running Vara scripts posted

Tim Tyler 001
warning: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/tim/.wine' is a 64-bit installation."
I need some help fixing this error, please? The above error is what I get as I work my way to bottom of Jason's instructions for installing VarAC from: Thanks, in advance. (Note: I'm a total Newbie to Linux and Wine.) -- Tim Tyler I KI5OOS |

You will not be able to run any scripts as part of this project I don¡¯t think ¡ª ?for vara they are all broken in latest bookworm and buster due to a few things (see the vara sticky post in groups.io)? I was having a lot of issues with varac as well it did work but I have a collection of bugs to iron out before reporting myself? Set the? vara seems to be working fine and the new wine version is very nice so excited for it? Hold back wine/box updates or backup before trying new wine !!!! kelly? |

Yea. I want to second that comment from Curt.? You will learn more, also you don¡¯t need to blow away all the ?stuff likely (only .wine) but I recommend just learning by fun break and fix it over and over. If you were on pi and moving to mint things will go much smoother at the moment (Intel vs arm)? |

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 |

? 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? |

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/
? |

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 |

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)? |

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¡ |

Understood. Gonna take a break. Thanks for your effort. I¡¯ll keep watching. On Sat, Jan 27, 2024 at 11:05 AM, Kelly K7MHI wrote:

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 |

Hey Kevin, it's like watching the tide oceanside. The projects ebbs and flows?
Debian while its generically linux comes in any flavor you want I was only testing on Mint latests because its what Jason's videos primarily focus on as well (testing which repos are still loading km4ack scripts with 100% success is a fair bit of effort, and the values change weekly!) Wine install comes in two major ways WineHQ and Wine. ?one is from the "Head Quarters" and one is from your distribution/repo the WineHQ will be the new-latest (compile binary) WineHQ-dev is the latest code stable build. any packages simply called wine will be older code these packages are tested and approved by your own situation and apt will handle the errors and such the higher success is with wine stable normally but it was also just ALL updated so its a fun moment of high tide. winetricks is another fun project spawned much like the pi-build project here it just grew, using the latest copy from git is as follows wget ?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks?
sudo mv -v winetricks /usr/local/bin I just tested this and it corrects the VB6 SHA error? k |

I personally avoid the downstreamers from Debian, Especially one who shall remain un-named due to 'snap' and a few other attitudes) I have run Mint (not my cup-o-tea) and a few others, but keep coming back to Debian for full time Desktop and Servers. I will take your suggestions seriously as to Wine-HQ and winetricks, and begin playing, and hopefully contributing a bit more often as some of my 'issues' are being resolved (growing older sux, BTW)... -- = = = = ?
