Title: Loading windows program to playonlinux with dependant program
Post by: gs on June 11, 2016, 08:27:06 PM

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question, if not, let me know. I'm trying to load Fender Fuse into wine, but it requires Microsoft silverlight to run. When I try to load it asks to install silverlight. When I go thru the process it loads silverlight, but aborts Fuse. Is there a way to load a program that requires another dependent program? I'm running LL 2.8 and I love it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!

The God-awful netflix-desktop hack uses Silverlight, Wine, and Windows Firefox all at once, so it IS doable, I suppose. Studying how IT pulls that off might be a start towards finding a solution.

Refusing to go there again, I keep a copy of the recently-discontinued Linux 32-bit version of Chrome around. I'm hoping that the Ubuntu community eventually gets a Netflix hack for Chromium like those available for Arch and Slackware...
