I keep trying to open the boot.exe file but it will not run. I am on a mac.
Having this same issue but on Ubuntu 16.04. Are there additional dependencies that may not be getting installed into a fresh bottle? (.net framework? vcrun2015?) do I need to execute boot.exe with command line switches?
setting wine to virtual desktop let me do a little snooping, the 'boot.exe' process is resident but has 0 cpu / 0 memory allocated, so something fails pretty early. does it dump a log somewhere?
This issue occurs the same way whether I override imm32.dll.so (placed in ashita ffxi-bootmod directory / placed in FFXI.exe directory) or not.
I have not tried overwriting imm32.dll.so into the base wine directory, might clone the wine installation and try that next. (3.17 i386)
I was able to get FFXI-config to run out of UStools so I think I must be close....
edit to update: I was able to get it running with the overwritten imm32.dll.so by running the boot.exe through the terminal. will try to figure out which of those steps was the necessary one tomorrow.
