No success running SigmaPlot

[alytes]

Hi!

I strongly rely on SigmaPlot for scientific graphs, actually one of the few windows programs I still need. I use a licensed copy but a trial version can be downloaded here:
http://www.sigmaplot.com/products/sigmaplot/

I could install several versions of SigmaPlot (8, 9, 11) but I always get the same error when I try to run it:

"An error occurred during an OLE operation
sp~pagwf.dll gpu_doc.cpp(671) 8e000010"

After clicking Ok next message says:

MS Visual C++ Runtime Library
"Runtime error! Program:C:\programas\sigmaplot\spw9\spw.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual
way"

This is what I get in the terminal:

$ wine C:\\programas\\sigmaplot\\spw9\\spw.exe
fixme:ole:CoGetTreatAsClass ({6e73ca4a-ce63-11cf-b59c-0000929132ce},
0x33f6f0)
fixme:ole:DefaultHandler_SetContainedObject ()
fixme:storage:GetConvertStg unimplemented stub!
~$ fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for 8000000a


For installation, I followed the steps described in the App DB:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=13015

This is what I tried so far (Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron):
-I executed vbrun60sp5.exe
-Next, vc6redistsetup_enu.exe. After extraction I executed
vcredist.exe. It took some time to display the following message:

$ wine c:\\programas\\MSVisualCRuntime\\vcredist.exe
fixme:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW notification 262144 params
33f9ac,0
err:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW copy error 0 L"C:\\windows\
\temp\\IXP000.TMP\\msvcp60.dll" -> L"C:\\windows\\system32\
\msvcp60.dll"
fixme:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW notification 262144 params

err:setupapi:SetupDefaultQueueCallbackW copy error 0 L"C:\\windows\
\temp\\IXP000.TMP\\oleaut32.dll" -> L"C:\\windows\\system32\
\oleaut32.dll"

It did not work. Then I tried copying ole32.dll, oleaut32.dll and rpcrt4.dll from my windows
partition to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32

I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,

The instructions in the AppDB say to install DCOM98. The dlls in DCOM98 are for Windows 98--they are not the same as the XP dlls, which is what I assume your Windows partition is.

Thanks for posting Dimesio,
I tried both. I first used DCOM98 running wine in Win98 mode. Then I tried WInXP mode with libraries from my windows partition, with similar results.
Any other suggestion?

What version of Wine are you using?

I downloaded the trial version of SigmaPlot 11, and it starts up fine for me with just dcom98 (installed with winetricks), and the Windows version set to Windows 98. I don't know enough about the app to really test it, but it seems to be working.

I'm using Wine 1.1.4. If you're using an older version, upgrade, then try installing again to a clean wineprefix. If you're already using 1.1.4, try installing to a clean wineprefix, with only dcom98--that other stuff you installed may be what's causing the problem.
