Yay! Thank you Miki and Nils!
Really glad you got it working. 😃
Yeah, its really cool that it works :-) Thx again for the hint!
Great video, Nils! Thank you
Well Nils, my dream _did_ come true! I've been pestering you for a couple years now to get it working on ANYTHING BUT WINDOWS (yuck) lol. I will shut up now! 😊
Thanks Miki for the tip. Gonna install this on my Linux netbook!
Great video!
You said, that the online help of CT2 doesn't run in the Bottles environment under Ubuntu, because the online help needs the MS Internet explorer. As the Internet Explorer is already depricated and MS recommends Edge, isn't it possible to make CT2 just ask for "any" browser, not just the Internet Explorer?
Hiho,
not when it is integrated in CT2 :-) Maybe we can try to detect if it runs and if not, open it in an external browser :-)
I really wish there was a linux native alternative. or at least something that can run in mono.
I tried following the instructions, but I've had lots of issues. bottles wouldn't create a new bottle, failing to install microsoft fonts, used bottle-cli to make one. dotnet46 wouldn't install (supposedly already installed), ignored that. After that cryptool installed, but then nothing happened when i tried to launch it. ran dotnet46 installer with /reinstall argument, said it did reinstall. still nothing.
Spending 3 hours to install this thing, only for it to not work.
What worked for me:
sudo apt install wine winetricks mono-runtime
winetricks -q dotnet48
winetricks -q dxvk
winetricks -q d3dcompiler_47
wine reg add "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Avalon.Graphics" /v DisableHWAcceleration /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
wine /path/to/installer.exe
