<p>Hi Benoit,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DM 2.x (free license) runs fine on a XP32 virtual machine on a Linux host. Either use the native KVM virtualization support now included in most Linux distros or install Oracle virtual box. The former has the advantage that you can RDC to your windows VM
from any host when nobody is logged into your Linux host. I would not bother with wine - go for a real O/S running in a VM. Space and memory are no excuses any more today and you will surely find an old licensed copy of WinXP. Or even better, since still supported,
run Win7 in your VM. If you are still concerned about space, put your VM image file on a thumb drive...

<p> </p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<div>Dear list</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone managed to run digital micrograph under linux? Running DM through wine should be the best solution for efficiency. Robert Hovden published some instructions as how to make an old version run through wine (under linux and mac os x): <a href="http://www.roberthovden.com/tutorial/2012_DM_windows.html" target="_blank">http://www.roberthovden.com/tutorial/2012_DM_windows.html</a></div>
<div>Unfortunately I can’t reproduce it with the DM latest version (and I have no access to the old one). I cannot pass the installation of the (free) license where the installer complains that windows scripting is not installed, although the procedure detailed
by Robert was supposed to do this.</div>
