Linux & Website X5  en

Has anyone been able to get Website X5 to work with Linux - Mint - Cinnamon - Sarah?

The background is I have dumped Windows because of the trouble Windows 10 updates have caused, plus their Spyware, and moved to Linux.

A lot of my Windows Programmes work fine using the Linux Wine/Winetricks overlay, but I'm unable to test Website X5 because the installation download appears to be lost and I don't want to purchase another copy if I can't use it.

Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Bob

Thanks a Million for that Serg.

I had no idea my purchases were still available from the Downloads part of my Profile.

Anyway, I downloaded Evolution 10 and installed it on my Linux – Mint – Cinnamon – Sarah machine and whilst the installation appeared perfectly normal and even a desktop icon was installed as well as Menu entries, it wouldn’t open.

Checking the short-cut and menu item revealed that no association of a package had been made with them, whatever that means.

Bit of a pity, because I have a selection of Photo Editing and Video Editing software designed for Windows working perfectly on Linux.

So I guess that answers my own question, unless someone else comes up with a bright idea.  smile

Thanks again,

Bob

Bob, I have a friend running Parallels (sadly not free). He runs an old copy of XP in it and is running WX5 to maintain his sites.

There is also VirtualBox which I believe is free (but you'll still need to install your old Windows.
