Fusion Installer Not Completing Successfully *solved* #408

Description

@NeilBetham

Describe the bug
The launcher.sh script doesn't seem to be pointing at the right binary in more recent installs. There is no longer a Fusion360.exe in the prefix anywhere:

~/.fusion360 
➜ find . -name 'Fusion360.exe'

~/.fusion360 
➜ 

I modified the launcher.sh script to point to FusionLauncher.exe, which is what Bottles points to now:

function LAUNCHER_RUN_FUSION360 {
  LAUNCHER="$(find "$WP_BOX" -name FusionLauncher.exe -printf "%T+ %p\n" | sort -r 2>&1 | head -n 1 | sed -r 's/.+0000000000 (.+)/\1/')" && WINEPREFIX="$WP_BOX" FUSION_IDSDK=false WINEDEBUG=-all,-d3d wine "$LAUNCHER"
# WINEDEBUG=-all = Logs everything, probably gives too much information in most cases, but may come in handy for subtle issues
# WINEDEBUG=-d3d = Will turn off all d3d messages, and additionally disable checking for GL errors after operations. This may improve performance.
}

After a fresh install using the scripts in this repo and updating launcher.sh as per above the Fusion launcher doesn't function as it seems like the installer is not configuring FusionLauncher.exe.ini file properly. The file exists but doesn't seem to have the correct contents. This is what's present in it on my system:

➜ cat FusionLauncher.exe.ini 
��This is a place-holder file which is intended to be updated by the streamer.%

And here is the error from the launcher:
Screenshot_20240329_185758

It would appear that the fusion admin installer is not populating this file anymore or something is erroring out in the installer part way and silently failing. Either way I have been unable to get past this issue via Bottles, the scripts here or Steam + Proton. Are there examples of the INI that can be used to populate this outside of the Autodesk installer?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run install script mkdir -p "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && cd "$HOME/.fusion360/bin" && wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/main/files/builds/stable-branch/bin/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
  2. Click through prompts; wait for install to complete
  3. Modify launcher.sh to point to FusionLauncher.exe
  4. Attempt to launch Fusion using box-run.sh

Expected behavior
Fusion should launch
