Exactly, it shows up automatically when I try to load a patch. The missing license/registration is what triggers the "locate files" dialogue.Death wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 8:51 pm After a lot of messing around for hours and cutting a long story short, I got dotnet48 installed in my 64 bit prefix. I had to download it from Microsoft rather than via Winetricks though. The Winetricks version wouldn't show up as an installed program in a 64 bit prefix.
Anyway, I've tried running ENGINE but I just can't get the license manager to show up so I'm still getting the same error with finding the files like in my original post. I've tried uninstalling ENGINE and deleting any leftover files I can find then reinstalling it but it's the same. I've tried running the license manager exe but it just asks to uninstall itself when I do so.
Did the license manager just open on its own for you after adding a library and then trying to load a patch or did you need to do something else to trigger it?
I'm so close to getting this all working now after all this time...
Cheers.
Did you try with a 32bit prefix? That seems to be the only differentiating piece in the puzzle at this point. I have a 32bit prefix only for the Engine 2 installation, everything else goes into my 64bit prefix. As I mentioned earlier, I think dotnet 4.8 is 32bit specific so it might just not be compatible with a 64bit prefix. There might be some other workaround for 64bit, but I have no idea what that might be.
