VCRun2008 Error Creating Log File etc

Post by crshbndct »

I am trying to install the Watchtower Library 2010 for my mum.

When i try to run the program from the link on the desktop, i get an hourglass icon for a few seconds, then nothing.

when i try run it from a terminal, i get a ton of errors about mfc90u. so i tried to install vcrun2008 with winetricks vcrun2008

when i do that i get a pop up dialog saying "could not write to installation log file, check the that the file is not locked"

and thats it.

i have googled this, but my google-fu is lacking tonight. please help, i need this sorted by thursday.

You didn't say what Wine version, but according to the AppDB, 1.3.11 or later is needed. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=22127
