Multisim: unable to initialize DAO/jet db engine

brutc001 · Post by **brutc001** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 4:41 am

Hi all,

I have just tired to install Multisim 9 in wine. The program installs but gives an error 'unable to initialize DAO/jet db engine' halfway through. The program runs fine but there are no components in the component database.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou

This program may also require MDAC 2.8
code:
winetricks mdac28

This fixme can be ignored.

Can you run the installed program from a terminal session and capture
the resulting log as per:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de32 ... 52258551a4

If the log is quite lengthy, please post it to pastebin.com and post the
URL to the log here in the forum.

Thank you.
