I am trying to install my copy of maple 8 for windows, using wine in mandriva 2008.1. Apparently there is a difficulty with handling the java code for the installantion front-end. Below I report the log file showing the error. One curious thing is that I get very close to make wine run the maple 8 version I have already installed in a windows XP partition. The maple window correctly pops up, but then I get an error message which says: "the license manager file could not be located". Then everything stops. If I could locate the the license manager file it seems I would be through. Any idea? For the installation under linux, using wine, here is the installation log file with the error message: ############ An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
