Hi, I haven't attempted to use Wine in at least a couple of years so I'm VERY out of date with how to really set it up and install an application. However I'm using TradeStation on Windows Vista and not enjoying Vista at all so I'm motivated to at least see if TS would work under Wine. My initial attempts didn't go so well so I'm checking in to see what the real users say is the right way to get started. 1) I'm using Gentoo on an AMD64 machine. I've emerged Wine with the following flags. Wine seemed happy with the install. lightning ~ # emerge -pv wine These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-emulation/wine-0.9.53 USE="X alsa cups gecko jack jpeg ldap ncurses opengl oss xml (-dbus) -esd (-hal) -lcms (-nas) -samba (-scanner)" 0 kB 2) I've not used Wine on this machine at all so there is no existing .wine directory. 3) I check Wine is available: mark@lightning ~ $ wine --version wine-0.9.53 mark@lightning ~ $ It seems that running wine --version no longer creates a .wine directory so I found winecfg. Even that throws some error messages but does start a config app and create the .wine directory. I made NO changes in winecfg and just accepted all the defaults. mark@lightning ~ $ winecfg --help wine: creating configuration directory '/home/mark/.wine'... fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW Flags 0x8 ignored (Fallback to APD_COPY_ALL_FILES) fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW ### DrvDriverEvent(...,DRIVEREVENT_INITIALIZE) not implemented yet fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW Flags 0x8 ignored (Fallback to APD_COPY_ALL_FILES) fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW ### DrvDriverEvent(...,DRIVEREVENT_INITIALIZE) not implemented yet fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW Flags 0x8 ignored (Fallback to APD_COPY_ALL_FILES) fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW ### DrvDriverEvent(...,DRIVEREVENT_INITIALIZE) not implemented yet fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW Flags 0x8 ignored (Fallback to APD_COPY_ALL_FILES) fixme:winspool:AddPrinterDriverExW ### DrvDriverEvent(...,DRIVEREVENT_INITIALIZE) not implemented yet fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x7d03b9d8, overlapped 0x7d03b9bc): stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub wine: '/home/mark/.wine' created successfully. mark@lightning ~ $ mark@lightning ~ $ ls -la .wine total 412 drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:04 . drwxr-xr-x 90 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:03 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:03 dosdevices drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:03 drive_c -rw-r--r-- 1 mark users 378586 2008-01-24 16:03 system.reg -rw-r--r-- 1 mark users 2339 2008-01-24 16:03 userdef.reg -rw-r--r-- 1 mark users 14559 2008-01-24 16:04 user.reg mark@lightning ~ $ I copied the TradeStation setup file to drive_c: mark@lightning ~/.wine/drive_c $ ls -la total 37440 drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:06 . drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:04 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:03 Program Files -rw-r--r-- 1 mark users 38275736 2008-01-24 16:06 Setup TradeStation 8.3 Build 1419.exe drwxr-xr-x 11 mark users 4096 2008-01-24 16:03 windows mark@lightning ~/.wine/drive_c $ >From here I start the install. The install progresses, throwing messages all over the place, but eventually fails with one about a unhandled page fault: err:ole:ClientIdentity_QueryMultipleInterfaces IRemUnknown_RemQueryInterface failed with error 0x80004002 err:ole:marshal_object object doesn't expose interface {60e73571-8258-478b-bd66-a7c07319cc89}, failing with error 0x80004002 err:ole:ClientIdentity_QueryMultipleInterfaces IRemUnknown_RemQueryInterface failed with error 0x80004002 err:ole:marshal_object object doesn't expose interface {60e73571-8258-478b-bd66-a7c07319cc89}, failing with error 0x80004002 err:ole:ClientIdentity_QueryMultipleInterfaces IRemUnknown_RemQueryInterface failed with error 0x80004002 wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x7e86d8ff (thread 0055), starting debugger... At this point I basically have to Ctrl-C and kill things. Left running I see these and maybe more in ps aux: mark 11927 0.0 0.8 3707464 8848 ?

What the chances to getting this to work? The application is about 40MB and can be distributed to someone who wants to work on fixing the install problems, if there is anyone out there that might be interested. Looking for guidance. There's nothing in the AppDB. Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
