Additional Comments

Licensing should work if wine has dcom98 installed. If problems persist try replacing your wine install by a windows install. (The ZActivator.dll file is very temperamental, sometimes replacing it by an install which you know works can do the trick). For me everything works so far.

­how to install zbrush 3.1 in ubuntu hardy 8.04 with wine
by zero on (October 31st 2008)

1. in order to install the full version of zbrush 3.1 you need to install the demo version first.

2. you need a working zbrush installation in windows to grab a file named vcomp.dll search it under windows folder on your windows installation copy and paste it under /windows/system32 wine folder.

3. back to your ubuntu and go to applications > wine > browse c:\ drive and delete the folder /winsxs under windows folder then copy the folder with the same name you can find inside working windows installation. you will notice the name is capitalized and different from the one you just deleted, ignore the difference.

4. go to applications > wine > configure wine and on the application tab change the windows version to windows 98.

5. install dcom98 using this command on terminal
wget www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks dcom98

6. run zbrush and use the key like you do it in windows installation.
