Run POWERPREP GRE prep software on Ununtu 12.04

Post by whatsherface »

I installed it, double-clicked the desktop icon that was created and instead of running the software it opens an internet explorer window with this: 纜흀3ǂ≀ in the url bar. When I go into the c drive folder and manually click the .exe, nothing happens. Any thoughts?

The app itself works fine, but that desktop link does seem broken.
It should do
iexplore 'C:\Program Files\ETS\POWERPREP II\docs\index.html'
but fails for some reason. The commandline above should work,
and does, but unless you have IE installed (and maybe not even then),
you can't launch the actual app that way, since it uses ActiveX.

So, to run the app, navigate to
'C:\Program Files\ETS\POWERPREP II\bin'
and run l.bat.
e.g.
cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ETS/POWERPREP II"
wine cmd /c l.bat

I have a similar problem, where I got an empty internet browser. I ran the l.bat file and got the following error:
Path not found.

fixme.exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Path not found

For this error:
fixme.exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
try remove "-Xmx512m" field at the bottom of l.bat, and run it again.

I received the following error:

I'm not sure how to proceed.
