Hello readers,

I installed Wine under Ubuntu 8.
Then I installed DHE (Dynamic HTML Editor) 4.2.20
It's downloadable at www.hexagora.com

The installation went perfect. But when I click the icon to start the programme, only the splashscreen appears and then . . . nothing.

Any suggestions?

Wine version and terminal output would be helpful.

[dimesio]

The download page for the demo for this program has a prominent warning that Mac and Linux users need to install "Virtual PC / VMware or other Windows emulation software" to run this program, so it sounds like the makers already know it won't run under Wine.

I downloaded the demo anyway to see what kind of messages the crash generated. Here's the terminal output:

Should I file a bug report, or is this one of those "we know it will never work in Wine because..." things?

Check for dupes first, then file a bug report. Might try native OLE to
see if that helps.

I downloaded the demo and the app runs fine if you install dcom98 via winetricks.

[dimesio]

I downloaded the demo and the app runs fine if you install dcom98 via winetricks.

Not for me. The app doesn't crash with native dcom98, but is unusable because dialog boxes and menus won't go away. There are only two messages in the console:

fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION
fixme:file:MoveFileWithProgressW MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH unimplemented

I've filed a bug report and added it to the AppDB.

[vanLonden]

Thanks for the effort Dimesio, but what does this mean? I mean, is there any chance that this problem will be solved?
I mean, fixing this problem would mean that I don't need to use Windows any more. That would be a relief.

[Bamm]

I mean, is there any chance that this problem will be solved?

There is but be prepared to wait a long time. First someone with an interest in that problem and with coding skills should decide to take on that problem. On the bright side Wine has progressed very quickly in recent months.

I mean, fixing this problem would mean that I don't need to use Windows any more. That would be a relief.

In the meantime, dimensio mentioned that you can use a virtual machine. If you do, I recommend VirtualBox.

[dimesio]

Bamm is right about the time frame. It is worth it, however, to continue to try your program with each new release of Wine. Bugs can affect multiple programs, and sometimes get fixed because they are already being worked on for some other bug report.

[vocalfons]

Chad, I installed dcom98 with winetricks.
You were right about DHE booting up. But it cannot save any file. So itś still kinda useless.

Plus, it screwed up WINE, Reaper doesn display wwaveforms properly anymore.

Does anyone know how to remove dcom98 and reset wine to itś default?

Any help would be really appreciated!!

cheers,

Alfons

[dimesio]

Does anyone know how to remove dcom98 and reset wine to itś default?

Run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab, and remove the overrides for rpcrt4, ole32, and oleaut32.

[vocalfons]

ok.

let's stay calm now...

I did exactly what you said, and now wine is disabled...

[dimesio]

I'm not sure what you mean by "disabled"--do you mean not even winecfg will open? Or do you mean that now your other program won't start? If the latter--had you set any dll overrides previously? You may have just removed one that the other program needed.

The easiest solution may be to start over with a clean wineprefix:

Code: Select all

mv ~/.wine{,.backup} 
wineboot

The first command renames your .wine directory to .wine.backup (in case you want to get it back), the second will force creation of a new .wine directory. You will then have to reinstall your program(s).

[vitamin]

ok.

let's stay calm now...

I did exactly what you said, and now wine is disabled...

What did you set overrides to?

[vocalfons]

I did this (DEMESIO told me to)

Run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab, and remove the overrides for rpcrt4, ole32, and oleaut32.

Well, I did not override them. I just switched them off.
After that, winecfg wont even start up anymore, saying:

err:module:import_dll Library ole32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winecfg.exe" failed, status c0000135

I did this (DEMESIO told me to)

Run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab, and remove the overrides for rpcrt4, ole32, and oleaut32.

Well, I did not override them. I just switched them off.
After that, winecfg wont even start up anymore, saying:

Of course it won't start. Setting those dlls to "off" means you told Wine _NOT_ to load them at all!

You can try this:

Code: Select all

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ole32,rpcrt4,oleaut32=b wine winecfg

thanks a lot!

next time I screw up, Iĺl try that.
I fixed it the hard way: removed wine, reinstalled RC3, reinstalled wineasio, registered wineasio again, and it works like it did before: Reaper is fantastic again, but DHE editor is dead.

before I screwed up yesterday, however, I managed to get DHE to get working, be it not very stable. So I do have hope it can be done. But since I am not a linux hacker, nor programmer, guess Iĺl have to wait patiently for someone to find and compile a solution.

Thanks for the suppport though!

Hello Vocalfons,

Would it be much to ask you for a recipe? I mean step by step. And maybe you can post that also on the DHE forum.

Bye, vanLonden.

*disclaimer* this how to is not geek-proof. Try at your own risk, I managed to f*ck up my PC several times doing this. Persistent as I am, I did not give up.

Result: I have DHE running in WIne, alongside reaper.
cons: DHE does a bad screen redraw. So you mightr do things, which are not shown until you maximize-minimaze the window. Plus: wine programs start up veeeeerrrry slow now.

If someone has a fix for those problems, we're done!

Here's the howto:

Download and install winetricks at http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Clicking this link you see a script.

(CNTRL-A, CONTRL-C) select and Copy the content
Right click on your ubuntu desktop
make a new file and call it winetricks

paste the content to that new file
rightclick the file
go to “properties”
make sure at the “rights” tab the “execute” box is checked

then doubleclick the file winetricks
choose “run in a terminal” or just “run”

there you see a bunch of packages you can install

choose
dcom98

click “ok”

Now DHE editor should work

it will start up verrrrrrryyyyy slooowwwww
so be patient

plus, the screen redraws of DHE are sometimes not done, so if you want to see the result of your action, maximize-minimize the window.

If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, or can offer a fix for the aformentioned mishaps, please contact me.

thanks.

You can avoid having DHE mess up your other programs by installing it into a separate wineprefix. First create it:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/DHE" wineboot

(substitute your username for "user")

Then use winetricks to install dcom98 to that wineprefix:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/DHE" sh winetricks dcom98

After that cd to the directory where you've extracted the DHE installer, and install it to the new wineprefix:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/DHE" wine DHWE42.exe

Every time you run DHE, you will have to specify the wineprefix:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/DHE" wine "C:\Program Files\Dynamic HTML Editor 4x\DHWE.exe"

You can specify the wineprefix in your menu editor so you don't have to type all this out in the console every time you want to run the program.

You can use this procedure to set up as many different wineprefixes as you want; just substitute the actual filenames & paths for the program you want to install.

If you like to experiment, using a separate wineprefix for things you are testing will help you avoid messing up your other programs.

This is very usefull!
I will try it rightaway

Do you also know a way to restore WINE to itś default settings?
I do have to make sure wineasio is not affected, though.

Thanks for thinking with me!

[vocalfons]

Let me get things clear: I just installed DHE with it's own prefix. It works, but not any better than before. Ofcourse that's not the point. I would like to restore the settings of Reaper under wine tot it's default. When I do winecfg, I cannot edit the settings of the .wine prefix seperately from the DHE prefix. Or can I?

Does these different prefixes mean i am running two different versions of WINE? Or is it more like two different WINE users? If so, can I reset the standard prefix of Reaper to run without COM98?

[vocalfons]

okay, I removed the three COM98 files from the dll override in Libraries in WINECFG. Now my applications start up as quickly as before. But DHE does noet start up anymore. I gave it it 's own prefix, but apparently not ot's own library.


mmmmm

[dimesio]

When I do winecfg, I cannot edit the settings of the .wine prefix seperately from the DHE prefix. Or can I?

Yes, you can. If you just run winecfg, without specifying the wineprefix, winecfg will configure your default ~/.wine directory. To use winecfg for any other wineprefix, you have to specify the environment variable:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/DHE" winecfg

Does these different prefixes mean i am running two different versions of WINE? Or is it more like two different WINE users?

What you have are two different fake Windows directories. AFAIK, Crossover's "bottles" are basically wineprefixes with some user-friendly GUI front-ends.

If so, can I reset the standard prefix of Reaper to run without COM98?

Well, yes, but the last time I told you what to do you didn't follow my directions, which were to remove the overrides, not disable them. This is done on the Libraries tab by selecting the overrides you want to remove, and clicking the button marked REMOVE. If you really feel compelled to edit rather than remove them, then change the load order to either Builtin, or Builtin then Native.

Did you install dcom98 to the new wineprefix? Are you starting DHE with the new wineprefix environment variable? (If you don't specify it, wine will try to start the one installed in your default ~/.wine directory.)
