Max 9 installer hanging under wine (caculating disk space)
Hi! I know this isn't supported, but I also know some folks have had success running max under wine.
when I run the .msi installer (either via winetricks or using msiexec /i Max903_241210_710f560.msi) I get the initial installer splash screen, and then in it hangs while attempting to calculate disk space.
Has anyone experimented with this - or gotten it to work?
Thanks!
Quick follow-up in case this is useful to anyone - it turned out I just needed to wait a lot longer than ubuntu wanted me to wait - and it installed just fine. For this to be possible under ubuntu I had to gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 120000
120000 being an arbitrarily long time that turned out to be enough in my case.
you can extract msi without installation process.
for example
msiexec /a e:\Max903_241210_710f560.msi /qb TARGETDIR=d:\Max-903
move runtime dll files into max folder at end
