­The following has been tested with Wine 1.5.26 under Linux.  If you are having trouble, make sure you are using the latest version of Wine.

­Note: It is recommended that you do the following in a separate winepr­efix, so as not to break working applications.  The instructions below will do this.

1. If you don't already have winetricks, read this.
   
2. Run WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.slingplayer2 sh winetricks -q gdiplus quartz wmp10
3. Install Slingplayer (remember to use the WINEPREFIX as above), e.g. WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.slingplayer2 wine SlingPlayer_2.0.4522_Setup-Global.exe.  The installer will fail at the end, but is installed.
   
4. For remote viewing, you will need to have a working SBProfile.xml from the previous 1.X version of Slingplayer (or a local machine, or a Windows box) and drop it into ~/.wine.slingplayer2/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Sling Media/SlingPlayer/2.0/.  If you are located on the same logical network, Slingplayer should be able to pick up the Slingbox itself (via broadcast) and this stage may not be required.
   

You should now have a working Slingplayer 2!­
You may need to run WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.slingplayer2 wine slingplayer if the shortcuts are not created during installation.

Note: HTML components (such as the login page and the Setup Assistant) do not work at the time of writing.
Note: IES4Linux or IES4MacOSX are not supported.  Report bugs to their maintainers.
Note: As of Wine 1.5.6, Mono is favoured over dotnet. If you are using Wine <1.5.6 then you will need to install dotnet.­
