Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
I've been trying to install Waves plugins using the instructions on this website: https://blog.inagaki.in/en/linux-waves-plugins-en/ I followed the instructions closely, installed necessary dlls and set up overrides and environment variables as described on the page. I also installed robocopy as per the instructions.
Waves Central has installed successfully and I was able to transfer the licenses from the cloud to my Linux computer. The actual plugin install starts out looking as if it will succeed, but at some point in the process, it inevitably fails with an error that says "Sorry. An error has occurred during installation - Installing."
I checked the instructions posted on the site above and on the final post in this thread (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=2173995), and everything seems to be in order, so I can't figure out why this isn't working.
Ubuntu 18.04 with Ubuntu Studio and kxstudio repositories, latest wine-staging..

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
That might be a robocopy error.
Try installing robocopy again and make sure the mfc42 etc dll overrides are in syswow64 and that the reg import entries have been done (use regedit and have a look)

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
Okay, I checked to make sure that all of the overrides were correct and the necessary dlls were in the correct directories. They were. Robocopy was installed via rktools, but I uninstalled it and reinstalled for good measure. I checked to make sure that the envorinment variables were correctly set in regedit, and everything looked right. Still no luck.
Just to be clear, the environment variables are strings set under the Environment key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, correct?

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
I've only had Waves Central running with Debian or Debian based distros like MX Linux.matyas wrote:Okay, I checked to make sure that all of the overrides were correct and the necessary dlls were in the correct directories.

It might even depend on the kernel and Wine, as I've heard of someone changing the kernel on a distro and then Waves Central ran ok.
There is the Liquorix kernel for Ubuntu.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"COMMONPROGRAMFILES(X86)"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files"
"PROGRAMFILES(X86)"="C:\\Program Files (x86)"
"PUBLIC"="C:\\users\\Public"

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
Kernel incompatibilities doesn't make sense intuitively, but who knows. I did try deleting the registry entries, pasting the text from above in a new .reg file, and importing into regedit. I then reinstalled Waves Central and attempted to install some plugins, and that also failed.I think I'm going to table this project for a bit unless anyone has any other possible suggestions.

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
I think that the 3 things that are likely to cause problems are robocopy and the reg entries and maybe the crypt libraries.matyas wrote:Kernel incompatibilities doesn't make sense intuitively, but who knows.

robocopy can be tested by just entering robocopy in a terminal and looking at the output.
Waves Central will give up if it can't connect to robocopy or if the reg entries are not there or not right.
I usually install winbind.

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
Typed wine robocopy in a terminal window. Robocopy started up and didn't throw any unexpected errors, just instructions on usage because I didn't supply any arguments. Confirmed that winbind was installed. I don't know if this is possibly something with my version of wine? I've got version 4.15-bionic of wine-staging.

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
I have the following overrides listed in wineconfig:
d2d1
ierutil
mfc140
mfc42
mfc42u
nsi
All are native, builtin.
I do have Windows 10 installed on another hard drive on this machine. Would it make sense to use Windows dlls? I have no experience with that.

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
The problem is due to recent Wine Staging changes.matyas wrote:I have the following overrides listed in wineconfig:

Roll back to a previous version until it gets fixed.
One way to do this is by
Download wine-4.11-staging-improved-amd64.tar.xz from the Wine 4.11 section at https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases
unarchive wine-4.11-staging-improved-amd64.tar.xz in the Downloads folder
run this script (do a chmod +x on it and then enter it's path in a Terminal)
run winecfg to update
To return to the original wine staging links run

Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
SUCCESS!!! Thanks, ubuntuuser! I installed 4.11 following your instructions and Waves Central successfully installed a plugin. Now, to see if we can get it working in a Linux host using LinVist.ubuntuuser wrote: The problem is due to recent Wine Staging changes.

There is also another (probably better) way.
The current Wine has a cmd.exe bug which makes Waves Central stop working.
It can be worked around by using winetricks.
winetricks cmd
This works with the current Wine Staging and probably future versions.
If you run link-scriptorg.txt (to put the links back to the current wine staging) and then run winecfg (to update the wineprefix) and then run winetricks cmd, then Waves Central should be ok with the current wine staging and future versions.
It's probably a good idea to put your licenses back to the cloud before doing it.
Re: Waves Plugins INnstall Fail
Hi there, i'm new to the Forums.
Sorry for bumping this one but I run into problems running wave central on wine-staging in manjaro.
I basically managed to install it but if I try to run it an error occurs regarding waves central got no access to powershell.
It's basically this error:
https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php? ... e6dff69f28
As my IK Multimedia stuff runs flawlessly I'm just curious if waves could work for me, too.
Any ideas? thanks in advance

Waves Central has moved to using Powershell and Windows Powershell doesn't seem to work in a total way under Wine.TheYke wrote:Hi there, i'm new to the Forums.

PS: I believe that I need to uninstall the last version of wine that is installed on my pc before to install the 4.11..... right?
