Okay, so figured out that my attempts to run <winecfg> and list WBid there before I ran the installation program were part of the problem. I am getting the following message now, though: Error Number: 0x80040707 Dll Function Call Crashed WBKey.WBKeyInstallKey Setup will now terminate. ---FWIW it doesn't. It just sits there looking at me untill I close the terminal. I got the following responses from the guy who wrote WBid for Windows: "Most of the internal workings of the program are installed in the "wbid" folder and probably do not pose much of a problem ... I would think. None of the program .DLL files are self-registering. However, there are some significant dependencies on the Windows OS (kernel32.dll, user32.dll, wininet.dll, etc.) However, the installer also checks to see if the Microsoft "C" runtime and MFC .dll's are installed. Some of these DLL's are self-registering which could cause a problem." -AND- "The wbkey32.dll is one of Wbid's program .dll's. That error code indicates it probably failed because it could not find one of Windows normal pre-defined folders or registry keys (like "system32" or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with the Wine emulator so am not even sure where to begin. If you go to a command prompt and type "set" you should see a list of 'stuff'. There should be: SystemDrive SystemRoot TEMP or TMP or both windir ProgramFiles Also, if you run "regedit" at the command prompt you should have at least the following keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall The "C" runtime has to be running (should already be there) and the Date has to be set correctly on your computer, too." ---------------------- If anyone cares to try this installation, my user name is Joshua Brehm and the employee# is 62029. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
