Please document all steps necessary to installing - and executing - FreeScan under Linux (and note the distribution with the version number) here

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 Wine First

Please follow the Linux Setup Guide Here


Install FreeScan 2.17

Download fssetup-217.zip: http://www.sixspotsoftware.com/downloads
Extract file in your download directory.

Install the program with:

wine ~/Downloads/fssetup-217.exe

Proceed with installing into the default location.

Uncheck “Run FreeSCAN” at the end of the setup. The program won't run outside of Wine.
Run the program by pasting the following into Terminal or you can create a shell script:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/'Program Files'/FreeSCAN/FreeSCAN.exe &
Once started 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.
Note: Once the program starts it will place your scanner into hold if it is scanning. There maybe a setting to correct this or its a bug.
