Dear all, I am new to all this (incl. Linux) and am trying to get a software to work: https://valentin-software.com/produkte/pvsol-premium/#release-notes It's not a game, but maybe you guys can figure it out anyways? Have tried different things but get various error messages when trying to install. Can anyone help ? Thank you sooo much!!
Hmm, interesting... If you decide to use PlayOnLinux, you can create a manual installation like in most of our gaming guides. Use Wine 6.1 64-bit Setup a 64-bit Virtual Drive (wineprefix) Set Wine configurations to Windows 10 Install the following packages: corefonts d3dx9 d3dx10 d3dx11 dotnet472 tahoma Then install the application It has an OpenGL compatibility, so there is a chance Wine might use that instead of DirectX. If it doesn't work, make sure to run the applications with "Debug" instead of "Run" This way you can see all the errors and bugs.... then post them here and I'll take a look. Just in case anyone is curious: PV*SOL® premium Dynamic simulation program with 3D visualization and detailed shading analysis for the calculation of photovoltaic systems.

Okay so first I tried installing the newest Wine-version according to your "Installting new Wine version"-instruction. But afterentering the first command in shell I get: Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support focal''. What's that? Do you know how I solve this?
Okay, so using PlayOnLinux, I added Wine 6.0. 6.1 is not available yet. Should also work, I hope? But I got a different problem now, when trying to install the packages: And here is some more info... System info: Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Video Card Drivers: direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.4 server glx extensions: client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI client glx version string: 1.4 client glx extensions: Can you help me out? Thanks!
Whohooo, I was able to install. It immediately crashed, but I got to installing it! I spent a lot of time on this and actually, this helped: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-13871.html That's also you, Boomann, right? Anyways, I did the debugging and added the logfile. Do you or someone else have any ideas? THANKS A LOT!
Oh, I did use Wine 6.0 as I couldn't get 6.1 properly installed. That shouldn't be the reason, should it?
Okay, so Wine now offered 6.1 and I tried it again. Here is the updated playonlinux report from debugging as well as the backtrace.
