How Can I Install Foxit In Wine (Ubuntu)?

Post by taurusx5 »

When I try to install Foxit Reader in Wine in ubuntu 8.04, the installation window appears for 4 seconds then completely disappears. It doeesn't install at all. I have the latest Wine version, FYI. And, I know there are people out there who have successfully installed foxit. How can I properly install Foxit without any installation problems?

When I try to install Foxit in Wine in terminal, I get the following error message:

x@xx:~/Desktop$ wine FoxitReader231_enu_Setup.exe
err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\temp\\foxf81f.tmp\\Foxit Reader Setup.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\temp\\foxf81f.tmp\\Foxit Reader Setup.exe" failed, status c0000135

But, I did find the missing dll (MFC42.DLL) over the net, installed it in the proper directory, but that didn't help - I still get the same error message. What must I do?

If you want to install MFC42.DLL you will have to do some more than this.
For more informations, please see :

But why not just use the native linux version instead ?

Tlarhices, I already installed foxit through winetricks. But, it scrolls so slow. Is there any way to make it scroll faaster? It's pretty aweful.
