InstallingOnLinux

These instructions assume you are running Kubuntu (Ubuntu) 7.10 or 8.04, although most Linux flavors should work fine.

GUI side:

1. Open Adept Manager (or your favorite package manager) and install wine and cabextract
2. Download the ATCSMon executable into your home folder.
3. Download MSDART.DLL to your home folder (www.dll-files.com). If the DLL download is a zip, open and extract the DLL.

Console:

1. After those are done, open a console and go to your home folder.

cd ~

2. Open winecfg and change the default Windows Version to Windows 2000

winecfg

3. Copy the DLL to the system32 directory of wine.

cp msdart.dll .wine/drive_c/windows/system32

4. Go to the wine C directory next

cd .wine/drive_c

5. Just for organizational sake, we will put winetricks in here. Make a new directory

mkdir winetricks

6. Go into the new directory

cd winetricks

7. Run the command to download the winetricks script:

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks

8. Now, to keep with organization (and help solve a problem later), edit the now downloaded winetricks file

vim winetricks

9. Edit the following line (press Insert key for edit mode):

test -d $WINETRICKS_CACHE || WINETRICKS_CACHE=$HOME/.winetrickscache

test -d $WINETRICKS_CACHE || WINETRICKS_CACHE=$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/.winetrickscache

10. Now save and exit

Press ESC, Colon, and type wq

11. Run winetricks to download all the necessary stuff we need.

sh winetricks fakeie6 comctl32.ocx vb6run mdac25 mdac28 jet40 vcrun6 wsh56 allfonts riched30 art2kmin mdac27
Just accept all the defaults when asked. mdac27 must be installed last!

12. Go back to your home folder and run the ATCS install.

cd ~
wine ATCSMon375.exe

13. Install and enjoy!
