Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I know Stardock Software product do not run on Linux. But, not sure if it work while running Windows XP on Wine. I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

Sorry, I am not really sure what you're trying to tell us. Please answer these few questions.

  1. What version of Windows you're trying to use Stardock CursorFX (Which is replacement of CursorXP)
  2. You're trying to use CursorFX? Which version?
  3. Which CursorXP style you're trying to use? You can use this link to search for your cursor. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/cursorfx/search/

Thank you,

CursorXP files are in a custom format and thus not usable without CursorXP running.  This requires Microsoft Windows.

The use of Wine or similar will not allow it to function correctly.

running cursor xp is not my point. i want try convert or use theme from one cursor theme on Linux as system mouse cursor 

Then all you really have to do is convert file types, I'd think.

As explained they are in a custom format.  There is no support for using these on Linux as they are only for use with Stardock software.
