Install QueueExplorer on Linux

QueueExplorer can be run using Wine on Linux. Since it's nontrivial to manually set it up, we created a script which downloads and sets up all needed pieces.

Step 1 - install Wine 6.6 or newer

Follow instructions for your distribution on WineHQ web site. Wine 5.x releases up to v6.6 had broken .Net framework compatibility.

We recommend Wine 7

QueueExplorer was tested with Wine version 7, Developer branch, since stable Wine 7 branch was not yet available on Ubuntu as of 19th January 2022.

If everything is ok, typing "wine --version" will give you "wine-7.0" or something similar.

Step 2 - Run script to download and set up QueueExplorer prerequisites

Here's what this script does:

• Creates 32-bit Wine prefix *
• Installs .Net Framework
• Installs QueueExplorer

* Wine prefix is a way to separate different applications, so that each app can have separate configuration, installed libraries, etc.
Since .Net doesn't run well under Wine in 64-bit mode, we're creating separate 32-bit Wine prefix.

wget -O installQE https://www.cogin.com/QueueExplorer/linux/installQE
chmod +x installQE
./installQE

Upgrading

Upgrading existing installation will be much faster if you use following upgrade script:

https://www.cogin.com/QueueExplorer/linux/upgradeQE

wget -O upgradeQE https://www.cogin.com/QueueExplorer/linux/installQE
chmod +x upgradeQE
./upgradeQE
