I'm trying to run Sonar 8 via Wine. I was advised to run vcrun2005, vcrun2005sp1, and run those after setting Wine to win2k, all to no avail. I started a thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5906267.html#5906267 I'd appreciate any tips. I'm SERIOUSLY trying to leave Windows for good, but I need this program until I've got something equivalent set up under Linux. I will also need to keep running this program because of all the projects I've created with Sonar and it will take a long time to convert them to something else. But if I can get Sonar running under Wine, I can at least get rid of Windows that much sooner.
