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
Launch Winetricks using the following command.
WINEARCH=win32 winetricks
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
The solution is to make sure your default Wine prefix is using the WINEARCH=win32 as well. If it is not, you can erase it to reset it, and launch winetricks in WINEARCH=32 to initialize it properly.
Setup Libraries
First you will need to choose "Select max9" to select the max9 prefix. Once you select it and press OK you will be able to configure the prefix.
Next select Install a Windows DLL or component and press OK.
Check the following items to install:
- d3dx9_26
- dotnet20
- msxml3
- msxml6
- vcrun2003
- vcrun2005
- vcrun2008
- vcrun2010
- vcrun6
Once checked press OK and wait for it to download and install these.
