XMLSpy® 2008 has been successfully tested on Red Hat Linux 8 using Wine 20030115. To use XMLSpy® 2008 under Linux, follow these steps: - Make sure you are using a current distribution of Linux (e.g. Red Hat 8 or higher).
- Download and install Wine and follow the included instructions to compile and configure Wine on your machine.
- Copy the complete 2008 Release 4 installation directory from Windows to the Linux partition (this avoids any installer-related issues); this should be an installation where you have already requested/purchased and entered a key-code, because the key-code request mechanism doesn’t currently work under WINE.
- Copy the following DLLs from a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista installation into the c/windows/system directory under Linux (the WINE installer will have created this directory for you):
| | | | | | | riched32.dll | | (required for Text View to work) | | | | riched20.dll | | (same thing) | | | | wininet.dll | | (required for all OpenURL functions to work) | | |
This step is required, because the current version of Wine does not yet fully implement these APIs. In a future version of Wine, this may no longer be required - feel free to experiment. - Start XMLSpy using the command line "wine -dll riched32=n XMLSpy.exe" (which will force WINE to use the native riched32.dll version that you just copied over, instead of the built-in WINE version, which doesn't implement enough functionality for us yet).
- Go to Tools/Options dialog, select the XSL tab, and ensure that the Transformation engine is set to XMLSpy internal, not MSXML.
Using XMLSpy® 2008 or any other Altova software under Linux requires special Windows emulation software available from 3rd parties and is not supported by Altova. Altova makes no representations or warranties with respect to using its software on these platforms.
