Additional Comments
BEFORE INSTALL: (preferably a clean install of wine)
use winetricks and tick the boxes for dotnet11, dotnet20, gdiplus.
Also the boxes for msxml3, msxml4 and msxml6. For the msxml4 you need to go into custom and select all to install locally. The msxml is the thing I have worked out myself as I havn't seen it elsewhere it is what allows sibelius to read the new sound set formats.
In the audio tab of the wine config select all options and tick the box for driver emulation.
I have also set Timidity up with a soundfont. You need to do this to receive sound
To install the program go directly to the installation package on the disk by typing "wine msiexec /i '/wherever the install file is/SibeliusEnglishInstaller.msi' The file is usually on the disk under "/Windows/Sibelius/SibeliusEnglishInstaller.msi"
Run the program from the shortcut created and register as usual.
Good Luck
(This is one step where there may be some bloat. dotnet20 and the last three are definitely needed, the rest I install to be safe).
4) Install wineasio. At time of writing, it's not in the repositories, so the source is available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio
You will need the file asio.h from the Steinberg Asio SDK, found at http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/3rd_party_developer/sdk_download_portal/asio_sdk.html (requires a free account to download).
Just unzip the SDK, copy "asio.h" from the folder "common" into the wineasio source folder, then get on with installing it.
You will also need the Jack audio server and its development files from the repositories, or the install will fail.
6) Enter the Sibelius 5 DVD, and find the location of the installer msi - on mine it's /Windows/Sibelius/SibeliusEnglishInstaller.msi
In terminal enter 'wine msiexec /i /SibeliusEnglishInstaller.msi and wait for install.
7) Find the "Other Applications" section of the Sibelius DVD and install Sibelius Sounds Essentials (SSE_Setup.exe)
8) I recommend changing Wine's Audio driver to "OSS" using winecfg. It seems more stable to me.
A possible problem you might have: Once started, I heard no sound, but clicking on "Play - > Playback Devices" once a score was loaded, and then selecting "Audio Engine Options" seemed to fix this. That was kind of weird, as I didn't change any options.
Finally, to those who are having C++ or C runtime errors - this is something to do with the vcrun libraries.
I don't know how to remove them, so you're going to have to uninstall wine, delete your .wine folder (in "/home/[user]" - it's hidden), and start all over again.
--WARNING! DELETING THE .WINE FOLDER WILL REMOVE ALL YOUR CURRENTLY INSTALLED WINE APPLICATIONS--
Sorry... I ran into this issue though, and starting over worked out for me.
Finally, I hope it works for you!

worked great!
by Tory on Saturday April 3rd 2010, 4:32
This worked great! however I did come across some issues, I had a lot of trouble install .NET 2.0, but there was a post on winehq's .net section that cleared it up. Also I was having trouble installing wineasio, I couldn't get it to compile, it was having trouble with asio.o or something, but I found an easier way to install it, there are instructions here: www.sandgreen.dk/index.php?side=linux_wineasio
Newbie Help
by Matthew on Saturday May 9th 2009, 12:00
Hi all,
I'm a Linux newbie, running Ubuntu Jaunty, and I'm stuck on how to install wineasio. I have the wineasio folder (with the asio.h file) located at /home/teacher/Documents/Software/wineasio
Can anyone help me with how to execute the make install command in Terminal? I changed the prefix in the Makefile doc to the above location.
Learning as I go here! It would be great to install Sibelius 5. Up to now I have been receiving the C++ error...
I am still having the same problem with the crash at "ideas Detailed View". Here is the complete output of the terminal. Someone please help, this is the only thing keeping me anywhere near XP now. I haven't been able to get it running since my silver post, I just have no clue from this what the actual problem is caused by.

"Please reinstall" -> runtime error
by Nigel Watt on Monday April 6th 2009, 22:55
Followed all steps except asio did not install correctly, but after installing Sibelius, I get a warning that an error occurred during setup, and that I need to reinstall. Upon reinstalling, I get the runtime error. This has now happened twice, with a clean reinstallation of wine and the runtime libraries.

There was an error loading sibelius - please reinstall.
by Simon Scheiwiller on Thursday April 2nd 2009, 6:14
I keep getting that message after I installed Sibelius, I also tried deleting all of wine, wine-dev, .wine and .winetrickscache and starting from scratch, but I get the same bug again and again. I couldn't find any hints from the messages on the console or on google.
"Ideas Detailed View"
by Ross Moore on Tuesday January 6th 2009, 18:46
unfortunately I am now having the problem with startup. This is after a clean install of ubuntu and is obviously very frustrating.
If anyone knows how to fix it please help
This is what I get from the terminal output if anyone can make sense of it... well the bit that seems important anyway

Unable to register Sibelius
by Samuli Jarvinen on Monday July 14th 2008, 8:38
I'm getting error message when starting up sibelius that:
You cannot run for the first time, register or unregister Sibelius unless you are the computer administrator. Please log in as the computer administrator and try again. (After Sibelius is registered, any user account can use sibelius.)
I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and wine version 1.1.1 Any ideas how I can get my installation registered?
