The thing about scheduling is correct (Michael).
You can also, apart from getting logs, ingest KDMs or administrate remotely, without disturbing the monitoring or work of the projectionist on site.
It can make your life a bit easier.
But, even if it didn't, I find it an obstacle worth investigating.
Those are my notes on the issue:
I ran the installer via wine.
A window shows up that reads:
Self-Registration Error:
The following files did not self-register or unregister:
1. C:\Program Files\Sony\SMSController\Led.ocx
Module not found.
2. C:\Program Files\Sony\SMSController\Lgauge.ocx
Module not found.
3. C:\Program Files\Sony\SMSController\NumLed.ocx
Module not found.
4. C:\Program Files\Sony\SMSController\Slider.ocx
Module not found.
5. C:\Program Files\Sony\SMSController\Toggle.ocx
Module not found.
That was rather simple to bypass.
I used winetricks and installed MFC42.DLL
After that, I opened a terminal, navigated in app folder and ran:
wine regsvr32 ./Led.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./Lgauge.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./NumLed.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./Toggle.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./MyClock.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./vsflex8l.ocx
wine regsvr32 ./MyCalendar.ocx
The application is now starting, but when trying to connect to a server, I get -almost instantly- an error message of no connection.
All that, in an XFCE 32bit distribution.
I really doubt that could go as far on 64bit libraries.
Is there anyone here that found out (or introduced to) the way of making things work?

Well there are two things.
a)There is the 5.51.0.2 version of the SMSController.
b)Other than that, there is an issue that showed up more than 18 months ago, with a windows update by the code number KB3161608 witch adds new Cypher Suites to the SSL network protocol.
At the time, and until recently, that I checked a Win7 machine, the issue was met solely on the 8.1 and 10 versions of windows(I was using an XP virtual machine into my windows 10 laptop I use for work to be able to connect remotely to the servers for some months), so that wouldn't be the first thing I would check.
Firstly, I would check if I can connect via VNC to the server, or even ping to its IP, so I can establish peer to peer connection. If I had that established, I would guess it's the issue with the windows update.
The latest software version for RSX-R320/220 (2.51.7) supposedly shorts that out, but might create an issue with the server's connectivity with non-Sony TMSystems. A correctable one, by means of configuration file editing. I don't have any first hand experience with that (the latest version), so I can't write much.
To get back in the subject, now that I am thinking about it again, it might be the same Linux SSL network protocol modules that create the connection failure in both cases.
I have to admit I wouldn't know how to deal with it in that operating system.
