Comment Re:Does it handle WMI? (Score 2) 25
I am not familiar with LightBurn, but your best bet would likely be to tweak Wine for specific compatibility with LightBurn, or get the developer of LightBurn to tweak LightBurn's source code for specific compatibility with Wine.. WMI Support should be completely unnecessary to talk to external hardware. A Windows application only needs WMI support to query management information of your local operating system or computer... It is actually very suspicious that a desktop application is touching WMI, as it is for system management only.
They don't have comprehensive MS-level DCOM compatibility which also limits WMI, and still neither is robust.
It is highly doubtful Wine is ever getting full support for either without embedding actual Microsoft DLLs.
Also, Windows USB drivers / USB support doesn't work with Wine either. If you are interfacing with hardware within Wine emulation -- then your options are essentially limited to classical serial ports.
