Running Bar Ilan Reponsa in Wine

[CaptainKirk]

I have the latest versions of Wine and winetricks and I am trying to run Bar Ilan Reponsa. The last discussions of this on these boards was 9 years ago. This is what I get now:

Code: Select all

$ pwd
/home/kirk/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/ResponsaCD20
$ wine RESPONSA.exe
000d:err:module:import_dll Loading library windowscodecs.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe") failed (error c000007b).
000d:err:module:attach_dlls Importing dlls for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe" failed, status c0000135

0009:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)

and then I get the message: "Please insert the original USB disk and try again!" and the USB dongle is of course in my PC so it appears that the issue is the protection system they use.

I put mfc42.dll and WindowsCodecs.dll into /home/kirk/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ I copied them from a Windows 7 VirtualBox that I have.

Any advice what I can do?

It can't find windowscodecs though, you probably did something wrong there. winetricks should be able to install it properly.
But AFAIK, that shouldn't cause your this issue - but you should rule it out nevertheless.

It could very well be that the copy-protection simply doesn't work in wine (yet). If winetricks to install those dlls with a clean WINEPREFIX doesn't work (and there is no bug report yet), make sure to file a bug report.

Can you provide more detail? Do you mean that simply installing winetricks should be sufficient? Or is there a command I must run?

And is there a way I can check if these windowscodecs are installed or not?

Thank you.

I tried running this:

But as you can see, it didn't help. I also tried running:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/shadow/.wineprefix32 winecfg 

and also

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=/home/shadow/.wineprefix32 WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot  

and then winetricks windowscodecs again, but same result.

[DarkShadow44]

Did you make sure to use a clean WINEPREFIX?

Can you provide more detail? Do you mean that simply installing winetricks should be sufficient? Or is there a command I must run?

Yes, I meant running "winetricks windowscodecs".

And is there a way I can check if these windowscodecs are installed or not?

Well, if you run winecfg, you can check if you have the corresponding dll overrides.

[CaptainKirk]

Please bear with me if I am missing something obvious. I appreciate your patience. I ran this:

Code: Select all

$ winecfg
000d:err:module:import_dll Loading library windowscodecs.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe") failed (error c000007b).
000d:err:module:attach_dlls Importing dlls for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe" failed, status c0000135

and then added windowscodecs.dll and set "builtin,native" and anyhow now I can run winecfg with no errors and now even my app runs with no errors:

Code: Select all

$ wine  RESPONSA.exe  
0042:fixme:nls:GetThreadPreferredUILanguages 00000034, 0x32e6a0, 0x32e710 0x32e6a8
0042:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x34 0x32e6a0 0x32e710 0x32e6a8) returning a dummy value (current locale)
0042:fixme:nls:GetThreadPreferredUILanguages 00000034, 0x32e680, 0x32e6f0 0x32e688
0042:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x34 0x32e680 0x32e6f0 0x32e688) returning a dummy value (current locale)
0042:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 70000 (device=7 access=0 func=0 method=0)
0042:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 70000 (device=7 access=0 func=0 method=0)
0042:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)
0042:fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)

but still just says "Please reinsert the original USB disk and try again!"

Just to be 100% sure, I launched the app right now in VirtualBox and it works fine.

Did you make sure to use a clean WINEPREFIX?

Do you mean like this:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/kirk/.wineprefix32 wine  RESPONSA.exe  
0009:fixme:nls:GetThreadPreferredUILanguages 00000034, 0x32e6a0, 0x32e710 0x32e6a8
0009:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x34 0x32e6a0 0x32e710 0x32e6a8) returning a dummy value (current locale)
0009:fixme:nls:GetThreadPreferredUILanguages 00000034, 0x32e680, 0x32e6f0 0x32e688
0009:fixme:nls:get_dummy_preferred_ui_language (0x34 0x32e680 0x32e6f0 0x32e688) returning a dummy value (current locale)
0017:fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl Unsupported ioctl 41018 (device=4 access=0 func=406 method=0)
0017:fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl Unsupported ioctl 4d014 (device=4 access=3 func=405 method=0)
0009:fixme:msvcrt:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x4c22b684) stub

0009:fixme:msvcrt:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x788b0e54) stub

It's slightly different, but the modal window that pops up is the same -- no USB disk.

Seems the issue is the "fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl Unsupported ioctl " and Google found these two threads:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23864
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8044

with no resolution. Would indeed appear to me to be a bug in Wine as VirtualBox is able to recognize the USB drive, so it's possible for this to work....

[DarkShadow44]

Well, with clean WINEPREFIX I mean't a clean wine folder, in your case a deleted/empty home/kirk/.wineprefix32". But the error seems to be gone now.

As expected, it doesn't seem to find the USB drive. I didn't see a bug report for that yet, so I guess you should create one.
Although I guess it will be hard to test without the corresponding hardware.

[CaptainKirk]

Thank you for you help. Bug report submitted:
