Property not found #activeConnection

[falloutphil]

Hi,

I'm trying to get LiveABC / McGraw-Hill's Chinese Pronunciaton to run under wine 3.0 rc3 on Ubuntu 17.10. It's a Macromedia application on a CD, which I've mounted from an ISO on my local file system.

I've then done the following installs:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 winetricks devenum quartz wmp10
winecfg -> Set OS to Win98
wine DXSETUP.exe  

I have made some progress installing the version of DirectX 9 that comes on the CD (DXSETUP.exe) - nothing else works at all - I can get the intro and first lesson to run. However after that I'm hit with a pop-up:

Code: Select all

Director Player Error

Property not found

#activeConnection

Script Error. Continue?

Hitting "Yes" has no effect, hitting "No" exits the application.

I can see that the text activeConnection occurs in various DXR files on the CD, but I'm stumped on what is required to support this?

Any ideas?



Console Log - the last few lines are repeated if you try to continue the script:

Code: Select all

Further to this - I can confirm the same problem on Wine 1.7 on Mac OS X.

Interestingly here - I did not have to install DirectX, etc to make it work at all - although it is plausible I have previous installed the dependencies to get other software to work.

Anyway - it fails at exactly the same point with exactly the same message, so the problem is nothing specifically to do with Wine 3.
