running SmartConsole in wine on linux

versions

wine: 1.7.18 winetricks: 20140302 smartconsole: R77.10_T131_B990150213 O.S.: gentoo linux

prerequisites

install wine and winetricks on your distro

wine setup

create a 32 bit wineprefix (if you don't already have one)

command

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg 

example

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32 winecfg

set windows version to Windows7

set environment

$ export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine32
$ echo $WINEPREFIX
/home/jsmith/.wine32

Install .net 2.0 SP2 using winetricks

$ winetricks dotnet20sp2 

...you should see the dot net windows install, license accept windows. It will go through the 2.0 and then the 2.0 SP2 installs.

$ winetricks dotnet40

... similar to above

this one may be optional

$ winetricks gdiplus

install smartconsole

$ wine ./Check_Point_SmartConsole_and_SmartDomain_Manager_R77.10_T131_B990150213_Windows.exe

You should see something like this... then proceed to install like you would on winblows

If you see something like this...

... then something is screwed up. The check point installer should not be trying to install the .net packages. We already did that in earlier steps using winetricks.
