Problem with Wine on a Mac

mlevin77 · Post by **mlevin77** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:56 pm

I'm trying to use Wine on an Intel Mac (OS 10.4.11) to run the Amazon Kindle for PC app. I've installed Wine following the instructions at

http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/

and when I do "wine KindleForPCinstaller.exe" from SH's $ prompt, it successfully creates the file "Kindle For PC.desktop" (which looks like a Windows shortcut or batch/shell file), although it does give the warnings

fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered
err:ole:create_server class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered
fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} could be created for context 0x17

But, now I can't seem to run it - it says

wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\Users\mlevin\Desktop\Kindle For PC.desktop

how do I actually run the thing?

thanks,

Mike

.desktop files are useless junk on Macs.. you delete them. The way your using Wine, your going to have to launch fro the command line... by cd into the folder with the .exe and type "wine theexename.exe"

ah. Ok; I found it, and did "wine KindleForPC.exe", and I see

fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} not registered

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {6e4fcb12-510a-4d40-9304-1da10ae9147c} could be created for context 0x17

and nothing else happens. Any ideas?

thank you,

Mike

actually, following another post I saw, I then installed Winetricks and DCOM98; that got rid of most of the errors but this one:

fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!

That doesn't seem like a fatal error, but the app never opens!

does anyone have this working?

thanks,

Mike

ah, thanks!! That gets further - the program runs. When I try to connect to my account though, it complains that it can't get to their server. I think something is wrong with Wine's ability to use internet - here's what I see in the Terminal:

fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x10142, 0x198a10): stub
fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x32d640
fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x32dab0
fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x32b820
fixme:imm:NotifyIME IMC_SETCANDIDATEPOS
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 30000
err:wininet:NETCON_secure_connect SSL_connect failed: 12055
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl WS_SIO_UDP_CONNRESET stub

any ideas?

thanks,

Mike
