Well, after a long discussion with Sergio via e-mail and a period of trying
different things, it appears that SR3DBuilder will only run (both now and in the
future) on a native installation of Windows (not even a virtual machine) that
has a fairly recent version of Microsoft's .NET framework and DirectX. It also
needs a video card that supports that version of DirectX. Any old machine that
you pull out of the closet and set up in the play room will not work.
The installer displays an error message and exits if it doesn't find the .NET
framework, and the program crashes on startup (displays Windows' standard
"encountered a problem and needs to close" message) if it doesn't find the
DirectX software or a video card that supports it. There is a debug version as
well, but it does the same thing.
There is another program that Sergio suggested, called LD4DStudio. It does run
in Wine, but most of its interconnections seem to be based on user-written
scripts. Yes, it would work, but it seems like a lot more work than necessary.
So unless someone can prove me wrong, it looks like I'm back to requesting these
features in MLCAD.
Thanks,
Aaron
