I got it installed and running past the license manager issues, albeit there are more issues... Here is what I did: 1. Double-clicked TableauPublicDesktop.msi, ran the installation through until there was an error 2. Opened a wine command prompt and issued: sc.exe qc tablicsrv sc.exe qc "flexnet licensing service" sc.exe sdshow "flexnet licensing service" (As hinted on http://www.tableausoftware.com/forum/unable-start-service-%2526%2523039;tablicsrv%2526%2523039;) 3. The commands above did not generate any output, but when I launched the installer again and pressed Install, it went past the installation point and launched the software. Splash screen comes up but the program hangs with lots of "wineserver: file_set_error() can't map error: Operation not supported" in the wine error log. Potentially, someone can make it work better from here? I have to study for 3 more exams so I do not have the time to file a proper bug report. Good luck!
