convenient option of installing gdiplus is to do it with winetricks, or failing that, download "windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe" from microsoft manually, copy to (your home folder/.cache/winetricks/win7sp1/), then use winetricks to install it.

best option, obtaind gdiplus.dll from windows 7 sp1 32bit installation, copy to wine's window/system32 folder, and do gdiplus.dll override to native in winecfg..

good luck!

error correction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the proper command should be

wine regedit ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/gdiplus.dll

instead of

"wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_gdiplus\override-dll.reg"

For those who want to install ctrader and calgo in linux, there is good news, fabulous news, and fantastic news.

first, the good news!!!

ctrader and calgo both work very well in linux...(on fedora 24 and latest wine)
==========================================================

next, the fabulous news!!

To install, set WINEARCH=win32 in terminal
set windows version to windows 7..
use winetricks to install dotnet2.0 and dotnet4.0...
find a way to obtain gdiplus.dll from windows7sp1 or download "windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe" from microsoft or use winetricks to install it.

if you download direct from microsoft do these:

Execute (type in linux terminal):

cabextract -q -d _gdiplus -L -F x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.17514_none_72d18a4386696c80/gdiplus.dll ~/.cache/winetricks/win7sp1/windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe

Execute (type in linux terminal):

cp _gdiplus/x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.17514_none_72d18a4386696c80/gdiplus.dll ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/gdiplus.dll

//Using native override for following DLLs: gdiplus

Execute (type in linux terminal):

wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_gdiplus\override-dll.reg
===================================================

it's easier to do it with winetricks though...choice is yours...

next, install calgo and ctrader normally as instructed by spotware and voila!! you're in business, no more chart coruption, everything works just fine...

and now, the fantastic news, go forth and conquer with no holds barred!!!!!
