Waves Central seems to be using Qt5Network and Qt5Web.

I think that that might be similar to what NI's Native Access is using.

IPHLPAPI.DLL is used by both as well and it had a Wine unimplemented function that should be fixed in future versions of Wine Staging.

Someone has worked the Waves Central giving up problem out using Wine Staging 2.21 https://blog.inagaki.in/wine-waves-central-en/

The following steps are required to avoid the error.

Installing robocopy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=17657

Robocopy.exe: Robust File Copy Utility (Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools)

Adding environment variables

wine regedit

Add the following string environment variables under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment

COMMONPROGRAMFILES(X86) C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
PROGRAMFILES(X86) C:\Program Files (x86)
PUBLIC C:\users\Public

robocopy needs a mfc42u.dll 32 bit override in syswow64

The say the actual Waves plugins don't run but that might be able to be fixed.

Seeing that Wine has stopped Wine staging, then the current Wine3 doesn't have the Wine Staging patches that enable Waves Central to run (SetFileCompletionNotificationModes patches) and so it just crashes on startup.

So the Wine Staging patches need to be submitted into Wine 3 Devel.
