I have Linux as my operating system, can I install SwiftKit?
It is possible to install SwiftKit on Linux using Wine and Winetricks.
1. If you don't already have Wine, you're going to need to download it. You can either get this from the Add/Remove panel in Ubuntu or from Wine's repositories here.
2. If you don't have Winetricks, install it. Wine is not the same as winetricks. To install Winetricks type:
3. You're going to need a few things from Winetricks to run SwiftKit. To install them type:
sh winetricks vcrun6 wsh56 allfonts4. Download Java from here. Run it with Wine.
5. Run the SwiftKit installer. It will give you an error, ignore it.
Congratulations! You've now installed SwiftKit on a Linux machine!

Just one more note, you may need to download the MSVBVM60.DLL and save it to the ~/.wine/windows/system32 directory, you can get the file from here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvbvm60
I have installed swiftkit with wine before that and i have made all that but swiftkit doesnt work.
hey i have instaled succssefully, but when i run it, it can not connect, say that was a erro. What can i do??
Hi, sorry for my bad englisch,but i´m from Germany :D You have no Connection to the update server with wine?The run: sh winetricks wininet I hope i cdan help :) Greets Reschef
The file "WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe" when i tryed to run the "sh winetricks vcrun6 wsh56 allfonts" command is no longer available on the Microsoft website,, that has made it so i can not successfully finish the command... so it's not working for me. :( So far no luck on finding another source to get the file.
So i found the Spanish version of the script56 file i needed and ran it, that allowed me to open swift-kit. But when i hit play now, or half of the other buttons it crashes.... any ideas? i think even though i got one of the files myself, there are more in that script that i can't make fully run.... but am not sure..
i can't install the Java file posted here, because it's not a "trusted" executable. please change it. ^.^
Doesnt work to me, when i type "sh winetricks vcrun6 wsh56 allfonts" it shows the following: Executing /usr/bin/cabextract /home/bas/.winetrickscache/vcredist.exe -d /home/bas/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/ -F mfc42u.dll Extracting cabinet: /home/bas/.winetrickscache/vcredist.exe extracting /home/bas/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32//mfc42u.dll All done, no errors.

I'm actually looking into it, Since the article was made there has been some changes to wine/winetricks.
dunno how old this is but, @zach: you have to change that on your system in the properties of the file. the people from swiftkit cant change some other sites download.
