hi, i get different console output then you, so for now i'll just share my experiences here. I installed on a complete fresh ~/.wine (you can do something like WINEPREFIX=~/garbage wine SETUP.EXE, after installation WINEPREFIX=~/garbage wine EPC.EXE) The installation went smoothly, after starting i get the splash screen, then the main gui, but then an error messagebox pops up about a DIB error, and then the app freezes. I guess that 's a bug in wine somewhere. I did not install any additional winetricks packages. With the stupid hack below i was able to start the app, but i'm not sure if it's functional, as many menu items are greyed out, and i dunno really how to use the app. Maybe you could try the above recipe , and see how far you can get. The DIB-bug needs more investigation, but i lack time atm to do so diff --git a/dlls/gdi32/dib.c b/dlls/gdi32/dib.c index 440857d..2d7b0ac 100644 --- a/dlls/gdi32/dib.c +++ b/dlls/gdi32/dib.c @@ -1076,6 +1076,7 @@ INT WINAPI GetDIBits( done: release_dc_ptr( dc ); GDI_ReleaseObj( hbitmap ); + if(!lines) return 1; return lines; }
