*SOLVED* Digital Image Pro installed in OpenSUSE 11.1

[katsushiro]

I'm trying to get Digital Image Pro 7.0 installed in opensuse11.1 (one of the conditions of my wife switching to linux). I've had a multitude of problems over the course of this. I've been unable to find a downloadable trial for this version. I am using wine 1.1.13

First when I tried installing it off the bat, it required MDAC, and would run the same script over and over saying "your system will need to reboot once we have completed installing MDAC" then switching to "we encountered errors when attemting to install MDAC" and repeating. I was unable to find out what version of MDAC was required, and tried using wine to install 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8 before learning about winetricks. I was finally able to get winetricks to look like it completed on MDAC 2.5 (2.7 and 2.8 errored after searching the hard drive for space) but I do not know how to confirm it is installed.

Now when attempting to execute the setup.exe it gives me a list of commands related to msiexec for installing, advertising, platching, removing, and so on. I've tried a few different things to get it to go on from here with the same results, first is entering the "msiexec /i" or "msiexec /i setup.exe" at this screen. second is adjusting my original execution syntax to

Code: Select all

wine setup.exe msiexec /i

or even

Code: Select all

wine msiexec /i setup.exe

any of those I try give me the error:

fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050 for L"C:\\windows\\profiles\\root\\msi1d5.tmp""

I did try finding advice from the wine wiki for msiexe http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_MSI and tried to pass the option

Code: Select all

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=msi,msiexec=native

with no change.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Don't run wine as root.

ok, well that does take care of that error. just puts me back to the original loop of trying to install MDAC. running winetricks not as root doesn't change the failure to install 2.7 or 2.8 though

Did you fix the permissions errors you created by running as root?

Hooray, one step closer. With those instruction we got 2.8 and 2.7 to complete installation. But, DIP still reports intalling MDAC when executing setup.exe. Here is the error message:

MDAC was updated on your system. Your system will reboot to complete this update. After your system restarts, setup will continue DIP setup

Thanks for your help so far.

[katsushiro]

ok, ok so my wife actually got it going she insisted we try mdac 2.5 and for some reason DIP actually detected and installed with that version of MDAC. guess that teaches me a thing or two about being thorough...
now it seems to be installed, but when trying to run the executable for the application itself we get a

cannot initialze ole

we've tried registering every version of the ole dll found in c:/windows/system32/ to no avail.

[katsushiro]

well, we made a stupid mistake and had to uninstall/reinstall wine, and had issues getting the mount manager to load any drives. Turns out the fix we needed for the mount manager, and to get DIP to run. We had to add ole32.dll as 'native' on the 'Library' tab. The program so far seems to run correctly. We haven't tried all of the features, but will update if there is a change.
