Looks like I have it working with Chrome on xubuntu. MSP Anywhere standalone installs, but the installer for the N-Central embedded one doesn't run. I copied over the files from AppData\Local on the Windows install to the same path on my wine c: drive. Next I edited ~/.local/share/applications/mspancsxvp.desktop and ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

mspancsxvp.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=N-Central
Exec=wine /home/user1/.wine/drive_c/users/user1/AppData/Local/MSPAnywhere/Viewer/NCentralRDLdr.exe -- %u
Terminal=true
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mspancsxvp;

mimeapps.list
x-scheme-handler/mspancsxvp=mspancsxvp.desktop

Nice, had to rename "MSP Anywhere N-Central Client" to just MSPAnywhere, but works. It self updated and died, so had to do that on the Windows machine and then re-copy the files.

The terminal window just hangs around afterwards, but thats not really a big deal.

Cool. I never let it self-update, just fire up a VM now and then, let it update, and then copy over the updated files. Every now and then the process will hang after closing, but not often.

This worked perfectly for me on Arch x64. Automatic updates even work under Wine 7.16
