Hallo! I have to report good and bad news:-) The installation finally worked (installed wine again, copied the failing DLLs for Autoroute, used som from my Office XP:-) and finally.... finally the installation continues without any problems:-) ----- But I cheered to soon:-) It seems, that Autoroute uses some kind of Display Routines for the map, which Wine can't realy translate in realtime. If I open Autoroute, it needs about 10 Minutes to start, and then the map has ugly colors, and if I click on any button again I have to wait about 10 minutes.... but perhaps in some time and with some tweaking I get this thing running:-) Thankx for all your help... I try to keep u updated if I get any hint why autroute is not working (perhaps some switches in the configuration file) Robert Roger wrote: > Please forgive me if I appear dense but I am unclear from your > messages if you actually dowloaded the InstMsiA.exe (ver 2.0) from > the MS website, installed it under wine and if the installation went > successfully.
