Wine64 for 64bit exe-installer errors

Ephebopus

I tried to install the 64bit version of EasyHDR, (the easiest exposure blend and hdr app that I've used by far) and previously the 32bit version has been working well in Solus (and Manjaro). The latest updates to version 3 of EasyHDR have however only been offered as the 64bit version.

I've tried:

wine64 msiexec /i easyHDR_3151_setup-567748393.exe
as well as
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/myuser/.wine wine64 msiexec /i easyHDR_3151_setup-567748393.exe

which both yield

0024:fixme:file:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet

I was wondering if there's anything for it; previously the author of the app mentioned that it worked fine in Wine generally in the 32bit version but nowadays there's no mention and only the 64bit version.
I can install the latest ver in its native Windows as I dual boot but the only present reason for dual booting is because of AoW Planetfall Play by email and I am a touch reluctant to add another reason.

(Even if I paid for EasyHDR3, if there's an OS app I've missed that is relatively easy to use I'm all ears)

Thanks for any advice.

Edit. Maybe "msiexec" means "msi" not ".exe".
If I try
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/to/.wine wine64 easyHDR_3151_setup-567748393.exe
I get

/usr/bin/wine: could not open

What I've installed so far is the Wine (6.3) package in the App central. I clearly don't understand Wine very well.

[unknown] Thanks, wow, that's nerdy and cool to know : )

I installed wine-32bit and then simply clicked the file and chose to open with Wine program launcher (instead of win64) and the installer ran this time. I can't seem to find it afterwards..I don't remember having that problem either with the 32bit application in the past.

[unknown] Thanks again! The latter part seems to have worked, the program executable can be launched with wine64. I shall attempt to run it through a session and see how it works, though out of time for tonight. Great, learnt something new!

To update, of a sorts, I experienced some crashes linked to a missing windows library that had issues installing in a 64bit prefix. Since time flies I decided to at least give the native app Luminance a try (thanks for the reminder - had done so once years past and left without a very positive memory.) A few small tests has yielded relatively satisfactory results however, somewhat to my surprise. I like this line from the manual: https://luminancehdr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/faq/

What is the meaning of the various settings for tone mapping operator X?
A: To answer precisely this question one would have to explain the inner workings of the tone mapping operator X, in terms of the original research paper. At the end of the day all that matters (to some people, at least) is to fiddle with the settings until you obtain a nice result.

True words (the tone mapping operators and their resp settings are pretty cryptic 🙂 )

Hi,
My .wine is a 64bit prefix, as that's what Solus installs by default. Later I installed the 32bit and ran the installer with that, thanks to you. The app is installed in the .wine folder, under Windows 64bit apps program folder. If I run the .exe with the Wine 64 bit program launcher it launches but when trying to import images it crashes with

Unimplemented function vcomp140.dll.

which acc to the internets is something you install with
winetricks -q vcrun2015 , which aborts with:

0024:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)

warning: Note: command wine vc_redist.x86.exe /q returned status 84. Aborting.

It may be installable in a 32-bit prefix, at least that's the theory as winetricks says so when launched, "issues may be due to your 64bit prefix".

So I used winetricks to create a new, 32 bit prefix, then tried to run the 32bit installer to install the 64bit app there:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/to/.local/share/wineprefixes/32 wine ~/Hämtningar/easyHDR_3151_setup-567748393.exe
and got a dialogue telling me that the last Easy HDR release to support 32bit was some releaseas ago and the installer will now abort.

So the installer installs with the Win32 program launcher but only into a 64bit prefix, right.

So I checked the product faq page, https://www.easyhdr.com/support/ , which says :

I have problems with running easyHDR on Linux under Wine.

Please run Wine config tool and define a library override: "vcomp140 (native,builtin)" as shown in the image below. EasyHDR has been tested on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 x64 under Wine 4.21 and also on OpenSUSE LEAP 15.1 x64 under Wine 3.7.

So I ran winetricks -> winecfg and for the 64bit prefix the Windows version under Application was set to windows xp..I changed it to Windows 10. The list of overrides has a lot of entries already, with an asterisk before, among them vcomp140(native, builtin). I added it via the dropdown and it was added without an asterisk.

And now, launching the installed app (residing in the 64bit prefix) with the 64bit wine program launcher, it again launches..and photo importing and editing and exporting works!

Never give up eh? Read the support page yes? 🙂

Good to be able to compare both applications in Solus to determine which one I like best.

Edit. "There are probably overrides for that"...right! : )
