I have this working on one computer but not the other. Both are running Debian etch, although one is on a slightly older kernel which I can't change for many reasons. Anyway, the program is mplab and it installs perfectly, but when I try to run it the following errors are generated ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microchip/MPLAB IDE/Core$ ./MPLAB.exe Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin ./MPLAB.exe ... fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),1,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub! err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\PICkit 2\\PICkit2.dll" err:ole:create_server class {a6fa4ec9-d77e-4cad-b885-03a67d204ed4} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {a6fa4ec9-d77e-4cad-b885-03a67d204ed4} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\MPLAB PM3\\MPPm3.dll" err:ole:create_server class {c14a89c8-002a-459b-ac4d-45733f02d25c} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {c14a89c8-002a-459b-ac4d-45733f02d25c} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\REAL ICE\\MPRealICE.dll" err:ole:create_server class {c71b1bae-5f15-42d5-8187-4c0a314da2da} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {c71b1bae-5f15-42d5-8187-4c0a314da2da} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\Promate II\\MPPromate2.dll" err:ole:create_server class {dcd896b9-4a5d-4fdc-aa6d-fcfa4f839779} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {dcd896b9-4a5d-4fdc-aa6d-fcfa4f839779} could be created for context 0x15 fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter message filter has been registered, but will not be used err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\ICE 4000\\MPICE4K.dll" err:ole:create_server class {30754234-55de-11d6-ba27-005004d4c701} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {30754234-55de-11d6-ba27-005004d4c701} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\ICE 2000\\MPIce2K.dll" err:ole:create_server class {7e3bb6be-185f-11d5-ba27-005004d4c701} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {7e3bb6be-185f-11d5-ba27-005004d4c701} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\REAL ICE\\MPRealICE.dll" err:ole:create_server class {a0730b4f-b87d-49e3-9bb9-43438ac2e20a} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {a0730b4f-b87d-49e3-9bb9-43438ac2e20a} could be created for context 0x15 err:ole:get_inproc_class_object couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\Program Files\\Microchip\\MPLAB IDE\\PICkit 2\\PICkit2.dll" err:ole:create_server class {babf35c3-8706-4256-a0be-f72164bdf27c} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {babf35c3-8706-4256-a0be-f72164bdf27c} could be created for context 0x15 fixme:actctx:FindActCtxSectionStringW 00000000 (null) 2 L"msvcr80.dll" 0x336b04 err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {12421eb7-4f43-a0d4-830a-f8d0eea8e231} not registered err:ole:create_server class {12421eb7-4f43-a0d4-830a-f8d0eea8e231} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {12421eb7-4f43-a0d4-830a-f8d0eea8e231} could be created for context 0x15 [/code] any thoughts...
