"worked" (except mostly font glitches & help) on Wine 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS since I installed it ~6 months ago. I used it daily, until 4 days ago, about the time I installed QGIS. Since then it won't launch: jack@freekbox:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/jack/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/jack/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jack/Start\ Menu/Programs/ESRI/ArcView\ GIS\ 3.2/ArcView\ GIS\ 3.2.lnk fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100 fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00004100 fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00004100 jack@freekbox:~$ err:module:attach_process_dlls "odbc32.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\ESRI\\AV_GIS30\\ARCVIEW\\BIN32\\arcview.exe" failed, status c0000005 Switching (native,builtin) in winecfg makes no difference and this is what I see in the file system: jack@freekbox:~/winVis/drive_c/windows/system32$ ls -l odbc32* -rw-r--r-- 1 jack jack 1032 2011-06-03 22:52 odbc32.dll Thanks for any help you might be able to give, Jack Newlevant
