Subject: Re: [TableSmith] Tablesmith on Ubuntu
?
I have gotten TableSmith to work in Linux using Wine. I wrote
instructions on my neglected website so that I would know how to do it
again. The link is here:
However, I use Arch Linux, so the instructions may not be completely the
same for Ubuntu. It's also somewhat technical and convoluted. I'll just
paste the text below:
1. Install winetricks
2. If running 64-bit Linux:
1. Rename ~/.wine
2. Create a new Wine environment by running: WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
3. This creates a 32-bit Wine environment which is necessary for a
lot of programs.
3. I usually get prompted by Wine to install Mono. I cancel this,
because I want to install the actual DotNet packages.
4. Install Gecko if prompted, otherwise we'll do it later.
5. Run: winetricks dotnet35 (there will be some manual downloading
required; follow instructions from winetricks.)
6. You'll have to run the above command multiple times to first install
dotnet20 and then dotnet3x. Just do as it instructs.
7. Also note that once it gets to the point of installing dotnet3x,
things can get tricky. Sometimes it seems to get stuck and you have
to CTRL-C. Other times you have to delete a file and try again.
8. Run: winetricks gecko (if it is not already installed)
9. Run: winetricks ie8 (required, otherwise roll results don't refresh)
10. Run: winetricks gdiplus
11. Run: winetricks allfonts (may not strictly be necessary)
12. Install Tablesmith by going to its directory and running: wine
msiexec /i install.msi
In some cases TableSmith may now show up in your KDE (and possibly
Gnome) menu, otherwise you'll need to run it manually. Personally, I
have the TableSmith program and all it's tables in a DropBox folder so I
can run and access it from multiple computers/OSes.

Hey guys,
I recently switched over from Windows to Ubuntu 13.04. I was having a
lot of problems with Windows for some reason, but that's beside the point.
I was wondering if there was a way to run Tablesmith on Ubuntu, which
is a Linux-based operating system. I did a Google search on the
subject, but I didn't get any good feedback. The advice I did find
was to install Wine, which I did, but that didn't fix the problem. I
was hoping someone here could help me out with it.
Thanks ahead of time. And if no one can help, that's okay, too.
Thanks,
Pablo
