Remove texttospeech directory and Scrivener should start just fine. I had exactly this issue with Wine.
Thanks, I did that. Scrivener runs fine, but I can’t activate the license.
You do need to have .NET installed correctly into the bottle. I would have figured it would already have that set up for you, as that is kind of the purpose of them isn’t it? I’m not familiar enough with Crossover to answer how that would be done by hand. I use Wine more directly, and thus used winetricks to install it.
One trick that can help in figuring out what is going on is to launch Scrivener, and in File ▸ Options..., under General: Warnings, enable logging, then restart and try to activate. That will keep a logging window open that may show some clues.

I am running into an issue activating my scrivener using Bottles on Ubuntu. I am able to get it up and running fine but it won’t let me use my activation license and get this message.
“The License manager ended unexpectedly. Installing .NET v4.6.2 or higher and the latest critical and recommended Windows Updates will most likely resolve this issue”
I have dotnet 40, 48, 461, 462, 472 all installed. Does anyone have any suggestions for me as to how to fix this?
why was this flagged?
I’ve merged this question with an existing discussion on the matter, but also note there is a pinned tutorial as well. I’d also note that Lutris seems to have a pretty good track record these days, whereas Bottles seem to not work as well from the feedback around here (I’ve tried neither, I can only summarise).
Okay thank you very much i will try lutris
