Create the WINE Prefix
First you will want to create a prefix for 3DSMAX. It should be a 32bit prefix. You can create it by running this on the command-line:
WINEARCH=win32 winetricks prefix=max9
If you're running a 64bit operating system you may run into this error:
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
------------------------------------------------------
If t his happens you will need to manually create the WINE prefix like this:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/max9/ winecfg $ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/max9/ winetricks
Select max9
Install d3dx9_26, dotnet20, vcrun2003-2010,6, msxml6, msxml3
Install max9 trial
Don't install sattelite service
