How to install Aforge image processing lab on Linux with Wine

Question

I am trying to install Aforge Image Processing Lab on my Centos.

I configured my wine to 32bits like;

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

And I install .NET 2.0 framework like;

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks dotnet20

And also I install .exe file on ~/.wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/ directory

Up to now, everything is quite good for me. However when I start;

wine iplab.exe

It gives me such error and it doesn't start;

[mg@MgCentOS bin]$ wine iplab.exe 
fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias -120, std (d/m/y): 8/11/2015, dlt (d/m/y): 29/03/2015

Could you please help me how I can handle this error and start Image Processing Lab application?

Answer 1

PlayOnLinux is a nice graphical frontend for wine that (for me at least) is much easier to operate.

As a test I installed Image Processing Lab 2.8.0 using the PlayOnLinux "Install a non-listed program" feature. The program installed perfectly and worked on the first try; I loaded and tweaked a few images and things seem to work well. I tested with PlayOnLinux version 4.2.9, the current version.

If you don't have PlayOnLinux, you can get the RPM at http://rpm.playonlinux.com/ or other versions at https://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html.

At the main screen, choose Install, then Install a non-listed program option in the bottom corner.
