Has anybody sucessfully installed Shapr3D on Linux using Wine?

I’ve tried myself, but I don’t know enough about Linux to make it work.  
I’m waiting for someone smarter than me to do it.

If someone has done it successfully, can you tell us the process?

Thanks

Wine has it’s application database and Shapr3d isn’t on the list. There is even separate list for different CADs. So I assume that it can’t be run via Wine or no one even tried that before.

I think it would be easier to run it under qemu or other similar software.

Thanks

I just wasted a few hours trying to make it work under Wine. In the end it didn’t work. Here’s how to get the .exe file to run with Wine:

- Download the appinstaller file on Shapr3D web site.
- An appinstaller file is just an XML, open it with a text editor. Copy the `.msixbundle` file URL.
- Download the `.msixbundle` file with wget.
- `msixbundle` is just a zip, unzip it.
- In the unzipped files, unzil the `.msix` file for your architecture.
- The exe file will be in the directory where you unzipped the `.msix` file. Run it with `wine Shapr3D.exe`.

On my system with Wine 9.0 it fails with

```auto
0110:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x1700336b5

```

If you’re lucky maybe it will work on your system.

I would think your best bet would be VM. Or dual boot.
