Now then, heres an update on my situation, hopefully this thread isn't old enough to slip through the cracks yet. I know it is long, but please take a minute or two to read through it. I spent majority of my time since my last message to the list wrestling with Novell's site (very poor connection quality) to download SUSE Linux Enterprise Server so that I could set up a proper test machine with a newer kernel and packages. I then installed it SLES, LTSP and WINE from their respective sites. The WINE version I grabbed was 20041201. I followed Joachim's suggestion to install from the CD and it worked (the install for ProCare). The situation I face is that we are currently using software called ProCare and are planning a switch to another called DCMS. ProCare so far seems to be running properly, I can't actually log in to it yet until tomorrow as I have to activate it via their telephone support and due to the holidays they are closed. We will need to run both side by side for a time. The more urgent matter is getting DCMS to work. Installing DCMS from the CD leaves me with two seperate problems. For clarity the messages in quotes are from message boxes that the program itself pops up. Following them if relevant is the console output from wine. Error #1 occurs the first time WINE is run on Setup.exe and says: "Error extracting Support files.

For DCMS copying the installation folder from a windows system's hard drive to the server and attempting to run an exe from the bin folder directory gives me some encouragement. The program appears to start properly until I receive an error saying "Can not load the program, contact OT, Inc." including this debug from wine: tree:~/.wine/drive_c/DCMS9003/Bin # wine DCMS9003.exe fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ole:MSFT_ReadValue BSTR length = -1? fixme:ole:MSFT_ReadValue BSTR length = -1? fixme:ole:ITypeLibComp_fnBind (L"Date", 103b0a, 0x3, 0x4068dff4, 0x4068e010, 0x4068dff8): stub fixme:ole:ITypeLibComp_fnBind (L"Date", 103b0a, 0x3, 0x4068ef04, 0x4068ef20, 0x4068ef08): stub fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_Construct Unsupported type 3 fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0x412b29fc,105697,1,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x4068f7cc), partially implemented. fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_get_hPal (0x403b5dd0)->(0x4068f778): stub fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0x412b5fa4,774,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x4068f82c), partially implemented. fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_FindConnectionPoint tried to find connection point on {33ad4f92-6699-11cf-b70c-00aa0060d393}? fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_FindConnectionPoint tried to find connection point on {33ad4ed2-6699-11cf-b70c-00aa0060d393}? fixme:ole:CoDisconnectObject (0x40367008, 0): stub - probably harmless fixme:ole:CoDisconnectObject (0x403e8e58, 0): stub - probably harmless fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects [this message is repeated about 20 times] fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub tree:~/.wine/drive_c/DCMS9003/Bin # Last thing that I noticed is the ProCare software (what few parts I can access without the license) runs somewhat sluggishly. The computer has a 2.8 P4 & 512MB of RAM. I understood from the WINE FAQ that the applications should run at a comparable speed to running natively on windows.
