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:

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.

PARTIAL SOLUTION I read on the WineHQ page that you need directx 2.0 installed, I had the newest directx. This allows the software to start, but theres still some error. I'll troubleshoot and post again if I can't find anything.
