4nec2 is a free, popular and very stable antenna modelling program.
Its installation file can be downloaded for free from:
https://www.qsl.net/4nec2/

It runs fine on 64-bit wine 3.20 (Windows XP).
However, it crashes at startup with wine 4.x and 5.x versions.

The following error is shown (screenshot attached):
Run-time error '481': Invalid picture

I am able to replicate this regression on several machines of mine.

Here are some very ancient Wine installation instructions for 4nec2:
https://www.qsl.net/4nec2/faq.htm#_Linux

Much, if not all, of this was no longer required with wine 3.20.

Hello,

Issues in a single application are severity 'normal'.
Read more about severity levels descriptions there:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs#severity

Performing a regression test between 3.20 and 4.x may prove difficult after
such a long time, but it may speed up things for the developers if you manage
to do so.
Instructions for regression testing can be found there:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing

Please, attach a normal (=without WINEDEBUG) terminal output.
Instructions to get a log can be found there:
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Regards.

Thanks, Oliver.

For the sake of completeness, I run PlayOnLinux 4.3.4 and winetricks
0.0+20200412-1 on top of wine. This method has served me well with wine 3.20 as
it avoids standalone wine "wining" about missing DLLs.

The debug information I was able to get from PlayOnLinux is shown below:

Playonlinux is not supported in this bugzilla.

Please, retest with a vanilla wine in a fresh wine prefix.

I tested by myself. And it works fine for me with vanilla wine-5.22

That is really useful information! Cheers.
This clearly demonstrates that I need to take my issue to PlayOnLinux.

Hello,

I know nothing about Playonlinux, but on Debian 8 and vanilla Wine, I currently
have libjpeg62-turbo and libjpeg62-turbo:i386 packages installed to get JPEG
support in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.

Regards.

Thank you for the suggestion.

libjpeg62 is available on (X)Ubuntu LTS 20.04 and I installed it.
libjpeg62:i386 is not available.
libjpeg8 and libjpeg8:i386 were already installed.

Unfortunately, I am still receiving the same error with 64-bit wine v5.19.

Hello,

Pure 64-bit Wine can only run pure 64-bit windows applications, which are very
uncommon and currently unsupported.
https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=33427&p=126290

Shared wow64 Wine build (the default on 64-bit systems) still requires 32-bit
dependencies to run 32-bit binaries.

libjpeg62:i386 is available on Ubuntu 20.04:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libjpeg62

Synaptic won't display i386 packages in the default view, if that's what you
tried.
If you need help installing i386 architecture packages on ubuntu, please check
ubuntu forums:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2418075&p=13856444#post1385644...

Since it works with vanilla wine, it is either an issue of missing dependency
or  a playonlinux issue. I'll mark the bug as invalid. Feel free to reopen if
it can be reproduced with vanilla Wine.

Regards.

Excellent, Olivier!

sudo apt install libjpeg62 libjpeg62:i386

indeed solved all my issues.

4nec2 now runs fine with PlayOnLinux 4.3.4 and 64-bit wine version 5.19 on
(X)Ubuntu LTS 20.04

Thank you for all your kind suggestions.

Suggestion: Perhaps, it might be worthwhile to make wine dependent on these
legacy JPEG library packages.

4nec2 memory allocation on 64-bit wine

4nec2 can be a very memory intensive program.
If I am not mistaken, running it as a 64-bit wine application allows it to see
all available memory. See bottom of attached picture.
