From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got a magellan gps and I want to load some maps onto it. The only way to do so is with the magellan vantagepoint software. I ran the installer and there were no errors or any notable issues, but when I run the VantagePoint.exe file, it returns this error:

Unhandled Exception: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform. at MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists (System.String map_path) [0x000a3] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapEngine.MapsContainer.AddPermanentWebServices (System.String provider_name, System.String localization_name) [0x00000] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext.InitMaps () [0x00068] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext..ctor (System.Windows.Forms.Form frame) [0x000a0] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor () [0x000a7] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor() at MapSend.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00116] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform. at MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists (System.String map_path) [0x000a3] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapEngine.MapsContainer.AddPermanentWebServices (System.String provider_name, System.String localization_name) [0x00000] in <504da9b353b84335a42ceef8ee5f55b2>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext.InitMaps () [0x00068] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MapSendContext..ctor (System.Windows.Forms.Form frame) [0x000a0] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor () [0x000a7] in <70f6fb3f84524372b0af9ec55159248f>:0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) MapSend.MainFrame2007..ctor()

I've installed .net like the only thing I could find said, but haven't found a further solution. Does anybody have other advice? Thank you very much in advance for the assistance.

There's a couple of ways I could imagine debugging this.

One would be to disassemble MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists and see why it would throw that exception. It's quite strange because it should act like it's running on windows.

The other would be to enable WINEDBG stuff or possibly use strace to figure out what it did before throwing that exception.

Have you tried 32-bit wine?
