Device Database is missing
Hi guys,
as I use Exagear and Wine on one of my Raspberry Pi 1's I'm trying to bring some Windows programms to Raspbian. So the Wine version I use is a pretty old one, it's 1.4.1. Executing setups and installing the programms works just fine, but when I try to execute the actual installed programms (the exe's), it tells me that there are some device databases missing. What can do about that? Downloading and installing the updates of Exagear doesn't do anything, the Wine version just stays 1.4.1. And even the self-made portable version for these programs isn't working.
If I can't do anything about that I'd try to get Exagear for Raspberry Pi 3 and do the whole thing again with the updated version of Exagear and Wine.
I'm really appreciating any help!

Re: Device Database is missing
1.4.1 is four years old and no longer supported. The current stable release is 2.0. According to https://eltechs.com/run-wine-on-raspberry-pi/, the version of Wine Exagear provides is 1.8, which is still outdated, but much better than 1.4.1. As to why the newer version doesn't install when you update Exagear, you're asking in the wrong place. Ask on their forum. http://forum.eltechs.com/

Re: Device Database is missing
Hey thanks for that, I've updated the whole system and now I'm running Wine 1.8.1, the newest Wine version Exagear is supporting. Seems like it was just a little dumb mistake of me.dimesio wrote:1.4.1 is four years old and no longer supported. The current stable release is 2.0.

Next problem: I don't get the message about the missing Device Database anymore, but now every time I wanna start a windows program it says "Runtime Error - abnormal termination time". Do you know if something is missing? My guest image is Debian 8 and the occuring caption says something like "Microsoft..".

Re: Device Database is missing
Thanks again for your help dimesio. I don't know why but the log.txt is simply empty, just with nothing inside. I tried some things and it's pretty surprising that the "Runtime error" disappears when I run the ".exe" with "wine start". Unfortunately I get another error, it's a missing Device Database again, but now Database 4 instead of 3 like before.dimesio wrote:Post terminal output. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_g ... tput.29.3F
I don't know what to do, seems it doesn't want to work for me
Re: Device Database is missing
That suggests you haven't been starting it correctly. You need to either cd to the directory containing the executable first or use wine start with the full path. https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_G ... mmand_linejonas_rotter wrote:I tried some things and it's pretty surprising that the "Runtime error" disappears when I run the ".exe" with "wine start".
Post the full terminal output, including the command used to start the program. Don't try to redirect it to a file, just copy what appears in the terminal.
Also, exactly what programs are you trying to run? Have you checked the AppDB to see if they are known to work in Wine?

Re: Device Database is missing
I tried "wine start" several times now and it still doesn't want to work. See the terminal output with "wine start" and also "WINEDEBUG=err+all wine start"error message here: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmkLECRe4wtji3HY53r4Uxc1KFwFdimesio wrote:That suggests you haven't been starting it correctly.

At the moment I just try to execute a program named "CL-SOFT 6". It's kind of business program by ABB so I thought it might work on the Raspberry Pi with Exagear and Wine. There aren't any information about any needed databases but I could imagine that the program need some...that would be the explanation for the errors. Ah and by the way I tried to execute CL-SOFT both on Debian 8 and on Ubuntu 1404 (which is both supported by Exagear).

Re: Device Database is missing
I did some research now and I found out that Winetricks could be helpful..I'll try it and let you know if that works.

Re: Device Database is missing
Sorry that I didn't answer for such a long time but Wine still refuses to work with my programm. I have got no idea what else to do...have you got any other tips or things that might help?jonas_rotter wrote:I did some research now and I found out that Winetricks could be helpful..I'll try it and let you know if that works.
