Can't run EPCOS Magnetic Design Tool (MDT.exe)

[SF6]

Hello,

I've been trying to run this (at first glance very simple 7MB program) from EPCOS. You can download it here and try yourself (it's a free software provided by the manufacture to design magntic components):

https://en.tdk.eu/tdk-en/180490/design- ... esign-tool

I'm running OpenSuse Leap 42.3, Wine 2.0.1 (although on other OpenSuse TW with Wine 3.0 same problem!)

What have I tried?
1. If I run

Code: Select all

usr@machine:~/apps/Mdt> wine MDT.exe

I get following errors:

Code: Select all

fixme:wtsapi:WTSRegisterSessionNotification Stub 0x1007e 0x00000000
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {00000514-0000-0010-8000-00aa006d2ea4} not registered

wine: Unhandled exception 0x0eedfade in thread 9 at address 0x7bcdb000:0x7b43f92e (thread 0009), starting debugger...

A window opens "The Program MDT.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."

2. I then created a WINEPREFIX

Code: Select all

usr@machine:~> WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/david/.wine32 winecfg 

and ran it through:

Code: Select all

usr@machine:~> WINEPREFIX=/home/david/.wine32 wine start /Unix /home/david/apps/Mdt/MDT.exe

and I get the same error window as above and the following terminal output:

Code: Select all

Thanks for your help.

I downloaded the app; winetricks mdac28 jet40 gets past the crash and enables it to start. I don't know enough about this app to say whether everything is working, but there was nothing obviously wrong.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

So did you still create a new WINEPREFIX like I did? DId I do that correctyl?
Other than that I only have to install winetricks mdac28 jet40? I had not previously done that...

For me just "winetricks -q jet40" is enough. Do we already have a bugreport for that?

I created a separate, 32 bit wineprefix, and yes, you did that correctly. And I just retested with only jet40, and DarkShadow44 is correct, that's all it seems to need.

Do we already have a bugreport for that?

Maybe https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37484?
