Well the application is not there in the appDB i believe the problem is more to do with the DLL path. 1. The application is learn to speak french by eLanguage... designed for 98 / XP along the lines of a CBT. 2. Depends upon quicktime for the video and audio(which it installs during initial install)... it also uses mic... I am not very clear on its working so just adding a list of imp EXE / DLL in its dir which might shed some light... App exe LSFE95.exe, msrun32.exe, bink32w.dll, dunzip32.dll 3, The error ofcourse is Code: harkirat@summertanks:/Applications/Learn To Speak French$ wine LSFE95.exe err:module:attach_process_dlls "ASR3234.DLL" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"H:\\Learn To Speak French\\LSFE95.exe" failed, status c0000142 tried locate asr3234.dll and got "/home/harkirat/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/eLanguage/Learn To Speak French/asr3234.dll" tried coying it to the app dir but that to didnt work... so here is the question... how to get it to work...? 4. just as a side question was trying to get the EA game Crysis (Bronze on AppDB) to work... it installs, and without nocd patch it asks the cd which ofcourse it dosnt detect... and my nocd patch stops any action in toto.
