PX-Map doesn't work

Hi guys!

I encountered a problem when using this software http://www.ssb.no/en/software/pxmap/. I use the older version = 1.07. I installed this software, opened it, and then I just tried to Open something and at this point the soft just refuses to continue in its work. Can you help me please? I really need this, 'cause I'm gonna use it at our university next week, so I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks, Michal

Hi, did you install the requirements as well: quote:
Additionally there is made a reduced version of the installation-program, for machines that already have the standard modules MDAC (version 2.5 or higher) and BDE (version 5.11 or higher) installed. The installation-program checks whether or not these modules are installed.
BTW what is BDE?

Anyway, i gave it a try and it crashes for me too. I was able to open a map using native oleaut32 though. So maybe you could try the following:

'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks vcrun6'

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=n" winPX-Map.exe

could you try that, and see if it works?

Hi!

Are there any special requirements to install? Because all what I've done so far is that I installed the program and nothing more

Well, I tried out the first option you gave me

'wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks vcrun6'

, but nothing changed. This is what I get from terminal when typing the second command you gave me:

bash: winPX-Map.exe: command not found

Just copy and paste the following, that way i was able to open map:

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks

WINEPREFIX=~/garbage sh winetricks mdac25 vcrun6

WINEPREFIX=~/garbage wine /sda6/rommel/pxmsetup_1.07.exe

cd ~/garbage/drive_c/Program\ Files/PX-Map/

WINEPREFIX=~/garbage WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=n" wine PX-Map.exe

not sure if other functionality works ok in wine, you'd have to test

about this line:

WINEPREFIX=~/garbage wine /sda6/rommel/pxmsetup_1.07.exe

of course replace the directory path, whit your directory path where the setup file resides.

Also, it might be worth to open a bug in bugzilla for the crash you get when trying to open a file. Regards

Well, I managed it somehow and it seems to be working right now... I hope I won't encounter any problem more in the future. Many thanks
