A script to help install and configure RD Instruments WinADCP on linux and Mac
This script will copy the necessary files to the appropriate locations and it
will use winetricks to install the windows dependencies.
wine 1.6 or higher
winetricks
zenity
The following files are zero byte files used to create this script.
WADPOps.Txt
WinADCP.chm
WinADCP.exe
In order for this to work the listed files must be replaced with actual files created by RD Instruments.
I created this script because I didn't have the WinADCP installer but I had an existing installation.
you can copy these files from an existing installation on windows, overwrite theshttps://github.com/pedrolpena/wineadcpe, and it will work.
Make sure to use a 32 bit prefix. if your existing prefix is 64 bit then create a new one.
eg.
WINEPREFIX=~/.adcp WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
This creates a 32 bit prefix where the simulated file system is in $HOME/.adcp
Make the install script executable and install to the .adcp prefix
If no prefix is supplied then everything is installed in the default prefix $HOME/.wine
chmod +x install
./install ~/.adcp
Type the following if you want to install the dependencies manually.
winetricks vb6run comctl32 comctl32ocx comdlg32ocx
Run The wine configuration program
WINEPREFIX=~/.adcp winecfg
- Click on Add application and navigate and select C:\Program Files\RD Instruments\WinADCP\WinADCP.exe
- Under the Windows version drop down list select "XP"
- Click on the libraries tab and enter "comctl32" in the "New override for library" field and click on Add.
- Click on the Edit button and select "Built in then Native" and click on OK to close winecfg
You should now be able to launch WinADCP from the launcher.
If install it manually, you'll have to launch WinADCP.exe manually from it's location, or create your own desktop launcher.
wine WinADCP.exe
