PowerBasic:DetectStatesInternet Device I/O Error

Anybody seen this error before?

Hi, I am experimenting with running Drake Software ( a Windows only tax preparation software) using Wine 1:1.6.2 on 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04. Drake installed fine but it's having issues connecting to the Drake server to install updates, additional state filing modules,etc...basically it can't connect to the internet.

I ran winecfg and I'm running 32 bit wine. I checked the Drake system requirements Drake runs on 32 bit.

I am going to try using PlayOnLinux and then purging/reinstalling from WineHQ packages as I realize my version of wine is outdated.

Upgrade Wine; 1.6.2 is over three years old and no longer supported. Use the WineHQ packages. https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Upgrade worked - used PlayOnLinux to switch to 2.2.
