How to install Sketchup 8 on Fedora 17 Gnome?

[Ariya]

Sketchup 8 is supposed to be installed through Winetricks, but it goes in a loop stating "checksum for GoogleSketchupWen.exe did not match, retrying download."

Nvidia is installed. laptop is Acer Aspire 4741G with i3-330M processor and Nvidia GeForce 310M, 3GB memory.

Has anyone installed Sketchup? If so, how did you do it?

If the file GoogleSketchupWen.exe is updated on the server then the checksum also changes ;-)

Winetricks is downloading the app, so the checksum should be okay, isn't it? Wineticks goes on and on downloading it, stating that the checksum is not good.

The file name does not include a version number, so every time google releases a new version the checksum will be different ;-)

Please read my former post. Sketchup has to be installed through Winetricks, otherwise it won't work. If anyone had installed a working Sketchup in Fedora 17, I'd like to know how. Thanks!
