Sigma PhotoPro6 not launching

Software
1

Hello all,

I do not know if you guys will be able to help me out but I have been trying and reading for hours to no luck. I installed Sigma’s photo pro using wine but everytime I try to launch it nothing happens. It uninstalls and reinstalls fine.

I should mention that i have a sigma DP2 merrill. Just seeing if anyone has had luck running it on linux mint.

I think it may be the sleep deprivation but I thought I had the most uptodate Rawtherapee and did not. So i am able to see the .x3f files but they look super grainy. I am sure i can figure it out, but i would still like to run sigma photopro if possible.

Thank you all in advance.

@thebrnone you seem to have mistaken the Free/Open Source Photography pixls.us portal for Sigma customer support.

I am sorry I was not trying to break any rules. I was just wondering if anyone in this community had any helpful hints.

After much more trial and error. I updated wine to 1.8 and it still didn’t work. Then I tried downloading an older version (5.5.3, I had initially downloaded 6.5) of sigma’s software and bam it started working.

I just wanted to post this here just for that one other person that may be looking for an answer…haha

Have a great day everyone.

Obligatory xkcd. :slight_smile:

Did you happen to check https://raw.pixls.us to see if there were samples already from your camera? If not maybe you could share some raw files for us? :wink:

Then you might be able to move into using a nice FL/OSS processor. :smiley:

@thebrnone when facing wine-related issues the starting point should be Wine-HQ.

thank you for the resource will do next time. Just new to the whole linux game and there is just a lot out there it is pretty daunting sometimes especially for issues that are so obscure. But persistence and no sleep are key…:slight_smile:

Out of curiosity…

wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chomd +x winetricks
WINEPREFIX="wine-sigma" WINEARCH="win32" sh winetricks dotnet40
wget http://www.sigma-global.com/common/download/cameras/sigma-photo-pro/data/SPP_6.5.3_setup.exe
WINEPREFIX="wine-sigma" wine SPP_6.5.3_setup.exe
WINEPREFIX="wine-sigma" wine "wine-sigma/drive_c/Program Files/SIGMA/SIGMA Photo Pro 6/SIGMA_PhotoPro6.exe"

Loads, but the progress bar of the preview seems stuck in that position, or I didn’t wait more than a minute.

Interesting. Thank you for the update! Looks like according to Winehq 6.5.3 doesn’t load all the pictures unfortunately.

Surprisingly 5.5.3 is working pretty smoothly for me right now and is relatively fast.
