Noobie linux user here trying to get this app to work with bottles/lutris/whatever but the same error pops up that I can't figure out. Any help please?

Distro: Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon
Apps tried: Bottles (flatpak) and Lutris
Target app: Ginger (https://github.com/DominaeDev/ginger)

I've tried running it from different drives, in and out of the Bottles created folders, but the same error pops up no matter what gets changed:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field 'Ginger.SpellChecker:s_Hunspell' (0) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'NHunspell, Version=1.2.5554.16953, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1ac793ea843b4366' or one of its dependencies

I've also tried running the msi from the github and get the same error, with these extra lines:

02ac:err:msi:execute_script Execution of script 0 halted; action L"_3754A388_689E_46DF_B53A_3A872C23A5F5" returned 1627

02ac:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallExecute" returned 1627

02ac:err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned 1627

The zip file comes with the NHunspell.dll in a folder in the same directory, but i've got no idea how to point the programs at it. And I've gotten other programs running, but not this one. Hoping the solution is obvious and I just am too new to figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Install the app, and find where the .exe file is. Move the NHunspell.dll into the same folder as the exe.

Ok, tried that and got a "Wine Mono is not installed" error, but was able to fix that and now it's working! Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem. Glad it worked out.
