It seems I have this thing installed at last. The decisive manoeuvre was to read the AppDB :-(. Apparently java-1.4.2 bombs out under wine, and the solution is to go to java-1.5.0. Presuming you use the download ( o1jxel45.exe ). Run it once, and it bombs badly, making a randomly named directory in windows/temp. So your actions are cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows.temp/<random_dir>/Windows/resource rm -rf jre ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Java/jre1.5.0_10 jre cd ../../ # should have you in the randomly named directory wine Windows/install.exe Whereupon it installs without a bother, throwing an inconsequential half page of stubs and fixmes <appended below>. Now I have a digital cert, as a registered taxpayer and can't get to log in. This proves to be a useful test of Java, and it's not working. I'll keep going on that. In the example below, I had unzipped the o1jxel45.exe into windows/temp, so the random dir was missing. cwd: C:\windows\temp\Windows cmd: "C:\windows\temp\Windows\resource\jre\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms16777216 -Xmx50331648 -classpath "C:\windows\temp\InstallerData\IAClasses.zip;C: \windows\temp\Windows\resource\jdglue.zip;C:\windows\temp\InstallerData \Execute.zip;C:\windows\temp\Windows\InstallerData\Execute.zip;C: \windows\temp\InstallerData\Resource1.zip;C:\windows\temp\Windows \InstallerData\Resource1.zip;C:\windows\temp\InstallerData;C:\windows \temp\Windows\InstallerData;" com.zerog.lax.LAX "C:/windows/temp/Windows/install.lax" "C:/windows/temp/laxea.tmp" fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32ad44,0x00000000), stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),1,0x32ad44,0x00000000), stub! fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x2720028) : stub, simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x207288)->((nil),00001008) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8202 (SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE) fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8204 (SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGCONTRAST) fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Untranslated charset 255 fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x2be26f8): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmSetConversionStatus (0x2be26f8, 1, 0): stub fixme:imm:ImmGetDefaultIMEWnd (0x10028 - (nil) 0x15b968 ): semi-stub fixme:d3d_surface:IWineGDISurfaceImpl_Blt Can't handle DDBLT_WAIT flag right now. fixme:imm:ImmGetOpenStatus (0x2e5b178): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmSetConversionStatus (0x2e5b178, 1, 0): stub fixme:imm:ImmGetDefaultIMEWnd (0x10030 - 0x1002e 0x15b968 ): semi-stub fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x207288)->((nil),00000008) fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImpl_Release Releasing primary stateblock err:heap:HEAP_ValidateInUseArena Heap 0x110000: in-use arena 0x160d00 next block has PREV_FREE flag I'll close bug 7010, and provide an appdb entry if I get sorted (i.e. if I get to log in) -- With Best Regards, Declan Moriarty. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
