Install the components mentioned above. If you want to perform some testing I would advice you first try to install PlayOnLinux and there install any newer version(s) of Wine made available (currently they are a couple versions behind with the 32bit: 7.4 vs the recently released 7.6 the 64bit is much more behind). These are at least required for other applications I run (Metapad doesn't like Wine's RichEdit, the FileInfo plug-in in Total Commander requires the native mfc42.dll to run, some transformation functions such as Blur don't work in the built-in gdiplus.dll etc.) RichEdit libraries (riched20 + riched30) MS Core Fonts package (plus a few others gathered in time) However - and I don't know if it has any weight in FSIV's operation - in any newly installed Wine version I first and foremost install a few native elements through PlayOnLinux's interface (or through Winetricks on a default installation): In alll my tests I found FSIV (FastStone Image Viewer) installing correctly and working right off the bat. PlayOnLinux have their own interface for settings, it's pretty straightforward.Īlso, right after prefix creation I set it up for a Windows XP default compatibility if any application requires a higher version that can be setup individually per application. Dunno which version is available through official channels, I have built the most recent I found myself (that being v 1.3.13). For the default/system Wine I use Q4wine to aid in setting up. One most important bit of information is that I always create and use a 32bit prefix for the Windows applications since I have none running on 64bit.

So my default Wine version is 5.14 devel, however I have tested most newer devel versions up to 7.5 (haven't yet installed 7.6 but packages are downloaded, pending installation and testing in PlayOnLinux). Personally I'm still using an old devel version of Wine because of some breaking change in all newer ones in regard to another Windows application that I can't let go.
