Description

TM2009 and DotNet are sold as separate products; the DotNet add-on uses the TM2009 client but stores the data files on a corporate server.

TM2009 is TM2008 v4.01b and above.

What works

Updated 07-24-2010: Everything still works fine for every wine version up to and including version 1.2. Still hangs on DotNet download, but killing and restarting TM gets around that issue.

Everything works that I've tried so far under Wine 1.1.*, except for the program locking up after downloading the data when using the DotNet addon.  However, just kill the process and restart it. You will then get a prompt about using the files currently on the computer. Click 'Yes' and you're ready to go. You need update rights to the data for this.



What does not

Window loses focus after downloading data from server. Mouse and keyboard events are non-resposive, but window still refreshes.  Kill process and restart. The data was downloaded.

Sometimes popup windows get hidden behind the dialog window that created them.


What was not tested
new AutoMailer feature to schedule emails from within TM. In Windows this is a background process in the system tray.


Additional Comments

When using TroopMaster under VirtualBox, I would rate it as Gold. Works just as it would on a regular Windows machine. (But then that's not Wine, is it?)
