VT Cashbook

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 8:36 am

Hi all,

I am trying to get a very simple little program called VT Cashbook to run on wine. I keep on getting the following error:

ActiveX component can't create object.

I then click ok and then get

Run-time error '-2147221166 (80040152)
Automation error

The prog can be downloaded from http://www.vtsoftware.co.uk/cashbook/index.htm
It installs 2x programs, but I am only interested in VT Cashbook

Would be great if someone can help me.

I downloaded the app. It needs native oleaut32.dll, scrrun.dll, and mfc42.dll to run. I copied all three from my XP partition. Scrrun.dll needs to be registered with regsvr32 after copying, and this needs to be done after copying mfc42.dll (or you'll get an error message that it can't be found). After that, set overrides for oleaut32 and scrrun just for this app in winecfg.

Alternatively, winetricks vcrun6 dcom98 will install mfc42 and oleaut32 respectively, but I don't think there's any way to install scrrun.dll with winetricks. If you do use winetricks to install dcom98, install it to a separate wineprefix, as it can prevent many other apps from running.

I don't know how to use the app, so I didn't test much, but everything I clicked on seems functional.

Hi,

I have copied oleaut32.dll, scrrun.dll and mfc42.dll from my windows partition to the system32 directory in wine. I have run "wine regsvr32 mfc42.dll" and it installed the library. I do however get an error "Failed to load DLL /home/johan/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/scrrun.dll" when trying to install scrrun.dll.

I am very new at this...

What's the exact command you're using to register scrrun.dll?

Also, what version of Wine are you using? I'm using 1.2; if you're not, upgrade.

I am using 1.2

The command I am running is:

wine regsvr32 /home/johan/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/scrrun.dll

That should work. Are you sure the file is in that directory?

Also, is this a clean wineprefix (nothing else installed, no other overrides)?

No need to specify full path. Wine will find this dll in system32. So simple 'wine regsvr32 scrrun.dll' should work.

If it doesn't work post complete terminal output.

wine regsvr32 /home/johan/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/scrrun.dll

just a side-note: winetricks is your friend: 'winetricks wsh56' does install the sccrun.dll and registers it automatically

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 3:16 am

I tried the winetricks route...

This is the error message I get. I am using 64bit Fedora. Not sure if this makes any difference.

I have now also tried copying scrrun.dll from another pc, but it still wont register it. Is something else not needed before I can register scrrun.dll? I even tried starting clean with wine, but get the same error.

qwertymn · Post by **qwertymn** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:33 am

What happens if you do this in a complete new and fresh .wine?

e.g.:

WINEPREFIX=~/garbage winetricks wsh56

then install and run the app also with the WINEPREFIX=~/garbage environmentvariable set?

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:14 am

I basically get the same error if I try that

well amazing, i 've never seen such an error on a clean ~/.wine. I haven't got a clue where this error comes from. The only thing i can think of is you have a screwed up wine-package?

Could you run this:

WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid wine regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll &>/tmp/log.txt

and after compressing /tmp/log.txt (with bzip2) put the file /tmp/log.txt.bz2 somewhere up on a server where i can get it to have a look?

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:59 am

Done. You can get the file here:
www.generalitsystems.com/downloads/log.txt.bz2

qwertymn · Post by **qwertymn** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 10:18 am

I suppose you generated that log after winetricks wsh56, right ? still, looks like some lines are missing from the log

could you do this as well:

WINEDEBUG=+module,+file wine regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll &>/tmp/log.txt

and after compressing /tmp/log.txt (with bzip2) put the file /tmp/log.txt.bz2 somewhere up on a server where i can get it to have a look?

apparently it cannot find scrrun and fails. It's looking for the file in syswow64:
trace:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"\\windows\\system32\\scrrun.dll" not found in /home/johan/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/syswow64

I guess you run a 64-bit wine, right? Unfortunately i'm not familiar with how 64-bits wine puts dlls in directories....

Does the following work though:

cd ~
cp -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/scrrun.dll ~
wine regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:16 pm

Yes, its 64 bit.

I did the copy and then registered the dll. That worked fine.

[johan@johanlaptop ~]$ cd ~
[johan@johanlaptop ~]$ cp -rf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/scrrun.dll ~
[johan@johanlaptop ~]$ wine regsvr32.exe scrrun.dll
Successfully registered DLL scrrun.dll
[johan@johanlaptop ~]$

Is it possible to run 32 bit wine on 64 bit Fedora?

johanpm · Post by **johanpm** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:23 pm

After the last thing you asked me to try...

VT Cashbook now doesn't show the active x error any more. It goes past that point and straight to

qwertymn · Post by **qwertymn** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:25 pm

Then if you now run the application, does it start fine?

Not sure. However, maybe there's a problem with the 64-bit Fedora wine-package. I can't think of another reason why simple things like 'winetricks wsh56' don;t work

Yes, of course. 64 bit Wine is very new. Unless you specifically want to help test it, you're better off installing only 32 bit Wine.
