Well, right now I’m running macOS Catalina with a VM running Windows 7 just with Winbox running. It seems like a huge waste of resources, but it’s the only way I found to run this application without having to ditch my beloved OS. If Codeweavers or Mikrotik could find a way to make this work it would be great, at least for me and other people that are away from the Microsoft environment. Don’t let this thread die please Mikrotik, give us some attention.
ReactOS (nightly) in VirtualBox is pretty quick and light compared to Win7 … Worked OK here. Has been quite stable for just running Winbox.
Bumping this old request as it apparently is provided now by mikrotik !
In the website there are x64 versions of netinstall and also linux versions !
./netinstall
Usage: netinstall [-r] [-k keyfile] [-s userscript] -a CLIENT_IP [PACKAGE]+
Please offer a help file!
Only issue I have with winbox64.exe, is that it will not update to new version in Wine, download stuck at 0-2%. (winbox.exe 32 bit works in Crossover wine, and that one updates).
Anyways, Wine is not up to Mikrotik to update, I guess.
Yeah, they could put a readme/help file.
At least works fine, but lack a option to not load the defconf.
-r stands for reset config and load defconf.
-k should be to load the license key.
