PrePoMax fails under Linux since 2.4.4

I have successfully created a testing environment for PrePoMax in Wine and found out that all versions work for me. I created the testing environment using VirtualBox and the latest Ubuntu, with a lot of help from GPT. I had no idea what I was doing, but below are the main commands I think are needed. I had to recreate some things multiple times…

Install wine

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine64

Create prefix

wineserver -k
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" wineboot --init

Open the prefix config and set the windows wersion to Windows 10

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" winecfg

Install .NET 4.8 into that prefix

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" winetricks dotnet48

Go int PrePoMAx folder and run PrePoMax.exe

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" wine PrePoMax.exe
