Wine error with LOCAL resource library

[Gerharddc]

I am trying to run the student version of Solid Edge ST8 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed using the latest wine build. It seems that there has not been activity in the DB for years and so I am under no illusion that it is supposed to work but I can't see any major reason why it should not because I cannot see any reason for the program needing any hardcore Windows APIs. After all, it is mostly OpenGL and OpenCL and its big brother NX which it shares a lot of engines with has native Linux support. I am therefore determined to get it working.

It installed just fine after I changed Wine to at least Windows 7 (it didn't like XP...) and the tiny "Viewer" program works but the full program crashes upon startup with the error "Error loading LOCALE resource library SPLASH.drx". I can confirm that the file is present on the filesystem and in the same place that it is on my Windows PC where the program works. Have any of you had problems with "drx" files before and have any idea what I can do to try and fix this?

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If the problem persists, post terminal output.

I'm on 1.7.51 getting:

There's no crash in that log. Are you getting Wine's popup crash dialog? If so, use it to capture the backtrace.

All I'm getting is a popup in a wine style window stating "Error loading LOCALE resource library SPLASH.drx". After that everything terminates. Maybe that's not technically a crash but it does stop the program dead in its tracks. I can't help but think that it's related to the problem regarding library loading mentioned in the terminal output.

PS. Is there any way to capture a backtrace from such a widow?

That popup is not from Wine; it must be from the app.

File a bug. Don't call it a crash, because it isn't.
