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 ProScan 10.0 here (Good for 30 Days then $50)

Download from here: http://www.proscan.org/
Extract file in your download directory.

Install after verifing your path:

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.
As a work around you can change the directory before starting in your script:
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.
