Hello there! I'm trying to get a proprietary business application running. It is basically a kind of a special small business accounting app which can be used in a distributed manner. If it is configured this way, the server installation is running an MSSQL server instance locally to store the data, while a client installation just uses the remote server installation (apparently directly connects to the remote MSSQL instance). I'd be very happy if I could get at least a client installation running under Wine while running the server installation under a real Windows environment. The client software package installs under Wine seamlessly. When started, it crashes with an exception until I install Microsoft Database Engine. With MSDE installed the program does start up but stops immediately with an error dialog basically saying that it cannot connect to the database. >From a quick .exe strings analysis I believe it has been coded in Borland Delphi. Well, it is possible that this is only some network level issue (LMHOSTS lookup failing or whatever) but realistically I suspect that there could be some deeper problem than that as the program fails to create some OLE objects etc. How do I start to make it work? I can send a Wine debug log if somebody with a clue would be so kind to look into it... Thanks, Sab
