SkyDemon on Linux (Ubuntu)

this is based on or copied from a Post in the skydemon forums

1. Install winetricks and wine

   sudo apt-get install winetricks

   (this will also install wine as a dependancy)

2. if you are running a 64bit Linux, create a wine 32 bit prefix. i had some problems when i created a second prefix with 32bit.. since i don't need a 64 bit prefix anyway, i simply delted my .wine directory first

   rm -rf /home/username/.wine

   , and then recreated a 32bit prefix in .wine. (don't copy/paste, replace username with your user home directory name and use a direcotry other than .wine if .wine still exists and you want to keep your 64bit prefix. the directory must not exist yet!):

   WINEPREFIX='/home/username/.wine' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'

3. run

   winecfg

   and simply click OK when it pops up

4. run

   winetricks dotnet40

   and follow the instructions (download the dotnet stuff and copy it to the folder they say and re-run the above command)
