I'm having problems running VB 3.0 programs under Wine and installing the VB 3.0 development environment. According to the app DB people have got VB 3.0 running before. I'm running on Ubuntu Dapper (x86). Previous tests were with earlier versions of Wine - I've had this problem hanging about for a few weeks now. This morning I uninstalled Wine with extreme prejudice (i.e., asking Synaptic to remove configuration files, etc) and deleted by ~/.wine directory then installed 0.9.33. This produced the same results I saw before. I can run my VB3 application but I have to copy the DLLs, etc, which it requires (VBRUN300.DLL, various .VBXs) into the application directory. If they're just in Windows\System (~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system) they're not found. When I come to install VB 3.0 from floppy using: wine /media/fd/setup.exe the first few windows go fine including confirmation that installation will be in C:\VB then I get one saying: Setup needs to install some files in your Windows directory. This directory is on a drive other than the one where you want to install Visual Basic. If you choose Custom installation on the next screen, Setup will show you the space required on each of these drives. Pressing OK on that gives a window with a choice of Complete Installation or Custom Installation. Choosing Complete gives a window asking about installing ODBC drivers then an error, choosing Custom goes direct to the error. The error message is not overly helpful: Setup could not be completed due to system errors. Please clear up the cause of errors and try again. To install VB properly, please run setup again. wine notepad.exe runs fine. Another 32-bit Windows program also works OK, modulo some issues with serial port handling which I may look into at some point in the future. Therefore I think the basic Wine installation is not completely borked. Any suggestions for what I should try next? Thanks, Ed Davies. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
