Dear sir or madam,
I would like to use Autodesk's "DWG TrueView 2020" to open DWG files on GNU/Linux without using a virtual computer running Microsoft Windows. But the installer fails in Crossover and Wine [1]. It is a known issue [2]. You can try the installer yourself [3]. I cannot fix it.
I would like to spend money to make the installer work. Whom can I sponsor? At which company can I buy development hours? Are there other options from your point of view?
Thank you for your input.
[1] I tried "DWG TrueView 2020" with Crossover 18.5.0 without success. The installer fails with error message "Install error 120: Call not implemented." I tried with Wine 4.14, 5.0, and 5.1 staging on Fedora 30 x86_64. Same problem.
[2] On 2019-08-24 I reported the problem to Codeweavers at: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=1230834 The problem was confirmed 2 days later, but no solution available. I asked for information about sponsored development to no avail.
This seems to be the bug on WineHQ.org: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12532
[3] Since the 2020 version a 64-bit operating system is required. On the website: https://www.autodesk.com/products/dwg/viewers you can download the "DWG TrueView" installer. It is 680 MiB. Note that the installer will download 1.9 GiB during installation. -- Kind regards, René
