Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux: Fusion360 Doesn't start "ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found." *solved*

Installer works perfectly fine but fusion doesn’t run after installation is done

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install required packages sudo pacman -Sy --needed zenity xterm
  • Run mkdir -p "$HOME/.wineprefixes/fusion360/INSTALLDIR" && cd "$HOME/.wineprefixes/fusion360/INSTALLDIR" && wget -N https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/raw/main/files/scripts/stable-branch/fusion360-setup-wizard.sh && chmod +x fusion360-setup-wizard.sh && bash fusion360-setup-wizard.sh && exit
  • Follow the install process and finish sucessfully
  • Run xterm -hold -e "$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Autodesk/fusion360-launcher.sh"
  • Look at the new window stalled with these mesages:
002c:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (000000000021FD70 0000000000000000): stub
0034:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (000000000021FD70 0000000000000000): stub
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

003c:fixme:ver:GetCurrentPackageId (000000000021FD70 0000000000000000): stub

Expected behavior I expected fusion360 to start up

Having the same issue on Manjaro Linux. The installation script finishes without error, but none of the Fusion360 files have been installed in the Wine prefix.

In my case, issue seems to be that the launcher.sh does not find a “Fusion360.exe” in the wineprefix and thus tries to launch “nothing” (i.e. calls wine ‘’). Something went wrong during the installation, it seems.

I also have this Issue.

[b@bbox-arch fusion360]$ pwd /var/home/b/.wineprefixes/fusion360 [b@bbox-arch fusion360]$ find . | grep -i fusion360 ./INSTALLDIR/data/fusion360 ./INSTALLDIR/data/fusion360/Fusion360installer.exe ./INSTALLDIR/fusion360-setup-wizard.sh [b@bbox-arch fusion360]$

Update: Got the installer to work by deleting the wine prefix, killing all Wine processes, and re-running the install script. I think an earlier attempt to manually install Fusion360 left a zombie process running that blocked the installer from running through the script.

Fusion is running smoothly now, thanks for the script! It’s incredible
