Hello, all. I have a Spyder5 that I'm trying to use on Linux, but I'm
unable to install the firmware or any other vendor files using oeminst.
This is the first time I've tried doing this, so I may be doing
something wrong, but it seems like oeminst just can't read the necessary
file correctly.
I didn't get a CD with the product, so I downloaded the software from here:
https://support.datacolor.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1672/153/spyder5pro-55-windows
When trying to import data from that setup file:
$ *argyll-oeminst -v Spyder5Pro_5.5_Setup.exe*
Loading file 'Spyder5Pro_5.5_Setup.exe'..done
'Spyder5Pro_5.5_Setup.exe' seems to be a VISE archive

argyll-oeminst: Error - Didn't locate any files to install - no CD present ?
Note that second to last line about an unhandled file.
I saw some posts on the displaycal forum recommending importing from an
installed copy. I tried doing that with wine, but oeminst didn't see
that at all (which I guess would be expected). I then tried installing
and activating the Spyder5 Pro software on Windows, downloading the
Windows version of argyll and running there. It still fails to import
anything:
>*oeminst.exe -v*

oeminst: Error - Didn't locate any files to install - no CD present ?
Note again the message about dccmtr.dll being unhandled.
Maybe datacolor changed the file format in a recent update? or am I
just doing something completely wrong?
Any recommendations on how I can import this? Is there a newer/dev
version I can try? or do I need to get an older copy of the Spyder5 Pro
software? I'd be happy to try that as well if anyone can tell me how to
download it - having trouble finding it myself.
Appreciate any help. Thanks!
