I was partly wrong below. The other wine application that I said starts and works OK, actually is not fully operative. That database fails as to the "search". It launchs correctly: francesco@deb32:~$ wine "c:\program Files\askSam\askSam6\database.exe" Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin c:\program Files\askSam\askSam6\database.exe ... fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" fixme:msvcrt:__lconv_init stub fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x16cdd0) err:ole:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke did not find member id -518, flags 0x4! err:ole:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke did not find member id -517, flags 0x4! fixme:shdocvw:OleInPlaceObject_InPlaceDeactivate (0x16cdd0) fixme:shdocvw:OleObject_Close (0x16cdd0)->(1) fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0xe010e), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub! and allows most commands, except "search" (which worked fine before upgrading to lenny). --- On Tue, 5/13/08, Francesco Pietra <chiendarret@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Francesco Pietra <chiendarret@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Application does not start > To: "wine" <wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 9:24 AM > Following upgrading from Debian Linux etch to Debian Linux > lenny (i386) one application (out of two) does not start > any more with wine.
