comctl32.dll failed to initialize

Post by assf »

Hi,

I'm trying to run this program on Wine:

https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appd ... plorer-add

I was able to run the installer and install it, but then running the installed exe is failing with the error "comctl32.dll failed to initialize".

Things I tried:

1. Standard way

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Micro\ Focus/ALM\ Explorer/
wine ALM-Explorer.exe
2. With native DLL:

Code: Select all

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="comctl32=n,b" wine ALM-Explorer.exe
3. With a DLL coming from my Windows laptop:

Code: Select all

cp ~/Downloads/comctl32.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="comctl32=n,b" wine ALM-Explorer.exe
I tried with the stable 5.0 and the staging 5.7 version of Wine.

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks!

Re: comctl32.dll failed to initialize

Post by Gcenx »

Don’t just download a random dll, use winetricks for these kinda things as it will handle installing the needed dll and it’s dependencies (some dll files require other native dll files to function)

You could also try the latest versions of wine-devel or wine-staging use my releases you can find information on them here
