Anyone ever had any luck getting E10 to run under Wine? I’m at a point in my life where I literally need to keep one extra box under my desk to synergy across to Epicor. RDP is too heavy, and Terminal Services/Remote App isn’t an option here.
I’ve gotten through installation on WINE several times, but think I’m hanging on issues relative to UNC paths and mapping.
If anyone’s had any luck, you’d be a lifesaver. I know there’s the web front-end, but way too slow for the amount of time I have to spend using/customizing it. Need to be in the actual application.
I haven’t seen a heavy version of RDP since prior to RDP 8.0. I use it exclusively when i’m away from the office with dummy devices like a POS laptop or chromebook.
No recent experience with Wine, but if you have a linux distribution on your machine and still want to run the Epicor ERP client locally, why not to run it virtualized?
Download a windows 10 image from MS from (90 days eval):
UPDATE: Oops, I missed this label “This VM will expire on 08/21/19.”, so the option above still valid only if you have a valid windows (10) to install.
I will second this question.
WINE is NOT an option (Wine Is Not an Emulator). Use Windows only. This means a Physical Machine, Virtual Machine, or RDP.
Heavy was a poor choice of words - you’re right, of course. My issue is that I don’t want to devote the amount of screen real-estate, and can’t run RemoteApp. Have been looking to see if there were FreeRDP as a windows server, xpra, etc that would accomplish the same thing (only serve the one application), but doesn’t look like it.
Out of curiosity why is RemoteApp not an option??? We use RemoteApp for our Testing client. Works amazing.
I feel like this is at its core a, how can I make this square peg fit this round hole, kind of situation. You are asking for ideas to circumvent something that is not so much a problem as it is an attempt at a weird hacky winding dead end road.
The amount of screen real estate that you devote is entirely up to you. You don’t need to run RDP full screen. There are plenty of third party RDP clients besides Microsoft too. I use Royal TS and TSX, both allow custom window sizes for RDP sessions, tabs, etc.

I gave up. I was able to get past .NET as I recall - got thru the installer, etc, but couldn’t get flags to pass correctly. I was throwing more time at it than it was worth.
As others here correctly advised - RemoteApp was the best solution. I’m not really happy with it for stupid picky reasons - but it works - well. I’ll likely give WINE another shot in the future, and will update here if I have any success.
