Hi!

Has anyone managed to get this to install on Linux? I remember having this running on Linux, but I guess that was before 2020.

Now, when I try to run XWAU2020.exe I get the following exception:

Code: Select all

Unhandled Exception:
System.DllNotFoundException: user32.dll assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)

Installing dotnet48 with winetricks and disabling DXVK fixed it for me. It's currently installing. Hopefully that was all I needed to run it.
