What works

Loading, viewing, and printing .snp files, Help and about.

What does not

The installer does not work due to a problem with extract.exe. Users need to:

  • Extract the install files with "wine snpvw.exe /c /T:snap"
  • change to the newly created directory with "cd snap/snap"
  • Use cabextract to extract snap901.cab
  • Run the the install proper with "wine acmsetup.exe /T *.stf

Minor alignment issues with some items

Occasional font missmatches.


Workarounds

What was not tested

Additional Comments

Installer would work if a builtin extract.exe was produced. (Crossover does this.) You need to have printers installed and functioning before it will work. You should enable font smoothing for best results. ( http://files.polosatus.ru/winefontssmoothing_en.sh )

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO: Installation

You will need the "cabextract" program installed to install Snapshot Viewer.

From the command line:

  • Run the install program as follows to extract the files to a new directory called 'snap':
    • wine snpvw.exe /C /T:snap
  • Change to the newly created directory
    • cd snap/snap
  • Extract files from the extracted files
    • "cabextract snap901.cab"
  • Run the install proper 
    • "wine acmsetup.exe /T *.stf"
  • Follow the install until its completion. It tells you that the program did not install, but this seems to be incorrect.
  • Leave the directory and delete the install files.
    • cd ../..; rm -R snap
  • Run :
    • wine "c:\\program files\\snapshot viewer\\snapview.exe"
    • The program should run. Try to view your .snp files.
If your files do not open correctly, please consider reporting a bug so it can be fixed.
