by Alex Freudenberg on Thursday April 1st 2021, 3:55
Downgrading to wine-6.4 temporarily solves the issue.

Crashes after update to wine 5.0
by Witold Granicki on Thursday January 9th 2020, 2:32
Altium Designer 17.0 works fine with wine 4.21, but crashes after I updated to version 5.0rc2 (error message below).
I was unable to make it work with 5.0 (even with fresh install of AD).

Downgrade to wine 4.21 solved the problem.

File a bug report about it. The devs do not look at test reports. Test reports are for users to share results.

I can confirm that. Doing some regression testing to find the commit that started this bug.

Workaround for wine-5.0-rc1 till rc6: Add a dll override 'msado15' to 'native, builtin'
RE: Crashes after update to wine 5.0
by Pham Trung on Thursday November 19th 2020, 22:05
How to override it? Can you guide me? I try to download msado15 and copy it to install folder, but it not work.

Run "Winetricks" ? Select the prefix under which you installed Altium (e.g. for me it's "Select altium") ? "Run winecfg" ? Go to "Libraries" tab ? In the "New rule for library" box find "msado15" ? Click "Add" ? Make sure it's marked as "native, builtin" ? If not, click "Edit"

Option names may differ because I'm not using it in English, but I hope you'll find the way :)

Sorry, there were supposed to be arrows (similar to this: --> ), but they're showing as question marks.
Works with 3.13
by P K on Saturday April 20th 2019, 10:33
Hi all, Altium 17.1.9 works fine for me with wine 3.13. Cannot file a report as this version is too old.

What works:
- Schematics
- PCB 2D
- PCB 3D with models
- Vault
- Libraries and database libraries (jet)
- Generating some outputs (gerbers, drills, bom) from output job
- DRC, both in schematics and in PCB
- Synchronization between PCB and schematics

What does not:
- generating pdfs with schematics - text is garbled
- opening html (crash, need to disable creating DRC or version difference reports)
- closing windows generated an error

I'm pretty much able to design whole board in wine, but I use Windows to generate final design documentation. I did not compare gerbers from linux and from Windows.

Install steps:
1. Wine 3.13
2. dotnet40
3. mdac28
4. Change Windows version to Windows 7
5. Emulate desktop to see login dialogs in installer
6. Run Altium Installer
7. Disable emulate desktop
8. If you want to use Cern libraries (jet)
- 1. sudo apt install unixodbc:i386
- 2. winetricks jet40
- 3. odbc32 -> builtin
- 4. odbccp32 -> builtin
- 5. oledb32 -> builtin
- 6. Change Windows version to Windows 7

Order may be important in install steps.

When I change used wine version to 3.14 (without reinstalling) then during startup Vault Explorer cannot be initialized.
When changing from 3.18 to 3.19 login fails (as stated in bug 46206)
In Wine 3.16+ database libraries won't work.

Btw, using elementary os loki (0.4), based on Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi there,

I just managed to make it work as well, on wine 4.0.

Since I see that you are working at CERN (I do as well), I was wondering, how do you access the Cern libraries? Did you make a local copy or are you accessing them over DFS?

I tried over DFS (already mounted under Linux using gvfs and then mapped to wine) but it is unbearably slow for some reason.

Cheers
Working with KDE NEON

with wine 3.10 and KDE NEON it works very well, I used the instructions of the submitter

Please submit a test report. I'll be adding my own soon but it's important to have results from across multiple versions of Wine, distros, and hardware.
