Is anyone running Vue in Wine on Ubuntu?   If so how does it behave?

I doubt it can work, I have 8.04 and a prog like Safari still crashes after 2 or 3 clicks so Vue ...

Pardon the flippancy, but...
"Ubuntu and Vue"
sounds like the title of a new sitcom, don't it? :biggrin:

Vue 6 PLE apparently works very well with an older version of Wine...

Vue 6 xStream works with some issues:

I haven't tired it myself...

Cheers,

I tried installing Vue 6 PLE and View 7 Pioneer beta using the latest development version of Wine (1.1.12) and the install failed-it tries to install a library and the installtion of that library fails.  It flashes up very quickly, but it appears to be a Visual C redistributable.  I installed MSI 2 and the Visual C 2005 SP1 and 2008 redistributables, but Vue still won't install.

Cheers,

Rod

Compared to the cost of Vue itself, wouldn't it be easier just to install a low end edition of Windows and dual boot?

You are likely to need other tools to run along side Vue as well, so your investment in a copy of Windows will pay back in saved time and avoided compatiblity issues with other software too.
