On which platform will Realmworks run ?

[merlinsghost]

Do you mean a solid wine program? Or realmsworks already encapsulated with Wine?

A solid WINE program. I've poked around the 'Net for one but I'm certainly not as familiar with it as I am Windows.

Also, what version of Linux are you running? The closer I can get to your setup the more accurate my test(s) will be.

I was the guy who posted about the 4.0 issue being the problem, and I'm a beta tester. I've tried it with multiple flavors of WINE including built binaries, Crossover and Wineskin Winery. I'm currently run OS X 10.8.2.

The problem with .NET 4.0 is that it may install partially for some people, but not others, depending upon the package of WINE you're using, and the sources. For most people the problem is the installation process, and that's what I ran into mostly - it's not that .NET 4.0 won't work but getting the damnable thing to install in the first place. I was going to go ahead and rebuild all the code and make a new binary for myself, but that's too much work for me (although I can do it).

.NET 4.0 according to APPDB is all teh suck at the moment: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17886

So, it COULD work, but you really have to finagle it? If it installs correctly, will it work 100%?

Well

I bit the bullet and pledged to the Kickstarter as an Alpha Wolf. So, as soon as things start to roll out, I'll be hacking away on my spare laptop making this work It sounds like the problem is not that it cannot work, but that the path to glory is non-trivial and there isn't necessarily a general solution for all audiences with reasonable reliability.

Someone has to be that first monkey into space.

Godspeed gunit888. Godspeed.

Any update on this?

Since nothing has been rolled out for him to work with, I doubt it.

Well it's been a couple of months since backers have gotten a hold of the beta client. Just curious if anyone has tried to run it on a mac yet, and if so what their results were Thank you.

Unfortunately even with .NET 4.0 support, Realm Works still doesn't work on WINE since there isn't very good/any WMI support, which Realm Works uses.

I can also confirm that while Crossover (the proprietary WINE wrapper/bottler system from CodeWeavers) does successfully install .NET 4.0, Realm Works is still unable to run.

It works great via the Parallels route, however.
