Canon DPP no longer working under wine 2.21

[jules]

Hello,

I've been running Canon Digital Photo Professional (4.6.30) for months without any problems. But with the upgrade to Wine 2.21 it has stopped working. It worked fine under previous Wine versions, including Wine 2.19. But it hangs with Wine 2.21. My OS is Arch Linux 4.13.12-1-ARCH.

What happens when I try to launch DPP is that it gets stuck and loops on the following command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"DapStrings.resources"

Any ideas or advice on what to try would be most appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jules

@jules,

Seems to be covered by: WineHQ Wiki: Regression Testing ...

Hello,

Always the same problem with wine 3.0, any chance to get the probleme solved?

I wasn't getting anywhere with the regression testing route. So, in the end, I decided that this was the end of the road for me and Wine...

Sorry 'bout that... I'm always quite happy to do a bit of regression testing... But only if I can get hold of the software (in question) legally!

Thanks - no worries - yep, I legally own DPP - that wasn't the issue - it was the testing route that just got a bit too techie-fiddly. As such, I just started running it in a Windows virtual machine.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Yes it's legal to own this software if you own your Canon camera (you just need your serial number to downlaod it). I manage to run it by using POL with 2.19 version of wine. With wine 3.0 here is the output :

0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"
0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"
0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"
0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"
0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"
0035:fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"Dpp4Main.resources"

And there is a kind of infinite loop as I can see the message ''line ## skiped'' (where ## is a speed count).
