--- Comment #2 from jpleonard12@gmail.com --- Likely this bug no longer present, as Wine 6.9, can install and launch SolidWorks 2016. Some winetricks verbs are required, as mentioned in the tests.
Some minor problems remain, but with a little attention from Wine development it probably could become a gold-rated 64-bit application.
SolidWorks and its user-base has always been windows-only, and likely will be for the forseeable future. Being able to run Solidworks on Linux without an emulator is something folks have discussed for years, and it would be a huge win for Wine.
Another major advantage with Wine would be to install legacy versions of Solidworks each in a unique wineprefix. Currently, SolidWorks enforces a one-way file versioning scheme-- there is no way to save data in older versions, forcing the entire user base to upgrade at the same time. Being able to run multiple legacy versions on Wine would eliminate this problem that many complain about.
