Wine - How to make MilkShape 3D work?

Question

I can install MilkShape 3D normally on Wine (4.21), but the program does not start.

Is there any solution/Workaround?

Thanks! =D

Answer 1

For this version works we recommend creating a wineprefix for the installation.

Once Milk Shape 3D is installed, then install "vcrun6" using "winetricks".

MODEL

WINEPREFIX=<PATH_TO_WINEPREFIX> winetricks -q vcrun6

EXAMPLE

WINEPREFIX=/home/user_name/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/ms3d winetricks -q vcrun6

NOTE: If there are problems with the approach above you can try the following...

Copy both Dll's below to the 3D Milk Shape folder (where "ms3d.exe" is):

• "msvcirt.dll"

ARCH/VERSION: 32bit/6.0.8168.0
DOWNLOAD: https://www.dll-files.com/msvcirt.dll.html

• "MFC42.dll"

ARCH/VERSION: 32bit/6.0.400
DOWNLOAD: https://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/M/mfc42.dll/6.0.400/download.html

Done! =D

How to register the application

MilkShape 3D has an unusual problem with its registration process. It accepts registry keys even if it is invalid. There are several sites reporting a certain procedure where we have to wait a few minutes with the application open to validate the registration key. This is a lie! Insert the key ( "Help" > "About..." > "Register" ) close and open the application. If it doesn't work, the key is wrong.
