Additional Comments

Download winetricks by running the following code in terminal :-

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Now we need to install some winetricks packages to get Impulse running properly. Run the code below in a Terminal :-

sh winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus

Note that the impulse installer will appear to crash, but just dismiss the error and the installation will continue as normal.
