Please document all steps necessary to installing - and executing - FreeScan under Linux (and note the distribution with the version number) here
Contents
Installation Process (Ubuntu 15.10)
The following is written after the base OS has been loaded and updates applied as needed with Wine not installed. This will probably work for all Debian based distributions of Linux.
Install FreeScan 2.17
- Download fssetup-217.zip: http://www.sixspotsoftware.com/downloads
- Extract file in your download directory:
wine ~/Downloads/<Replace_With_Folder_Name>/fssetup-217.exe
- Uncheck “Run FreeSCAN” at the end of the setup.
- You can then create a shell script to run the program with:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/FreeSCAN/FreeSCAN.exe &
- On the toolbar select Scanner > Control Scanner > COM Port Setup and pull down Port# selecting COM1.
- Match Baud rate to your scanner port setting and press “Start Auto” and your scanner will be detected.
- Now select the right most handheld icon to start the Virtual Control.
- Once started a scanning radio will be placed into hold.
- Note: There maybe a setting to correct this or its a bug.
Install ProScan 10.0 here (Good for 30 Days then $50)
- Download from here: http://www.proscan.org/
- Extract file in your download directory.
- Run: wine ~/Downloads/<Replace_With_Folder_Name>/ProScan_10_0.exe
- Note: The OS needs to be in the Proscan folder when started otherwise it won't find its dll. There's probably a fix for it by someone smarter than me with Linux.
- For now you can create a shell script to start it in its directory using:
- cd ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/ProScan/
- wine ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/ProScan/ProScan.exe
- From the toolbar go to Comm Port to setup your communication.
Installation Commands (Fedora & Suse)
- Fedora 9 under Wine 1.0: msiexec /i FreeSCAN0.6E.msi
- Suse with Wine 1.0: wine filename.msi
