Hi,

"Saral Tax" is the only app that needs dual booting the PC. i'm trying to run this on wine and Arch linux. Fonts availabe through wine-doors are installed.

Installation of Saraltax is flawless. But only the splash screen is displayed when the app is invoked. Errors displayed when running from prompt is pasted below.

Is this error a major showstopper or something that can be overcome?

Is it downloadable? I tried the free download from
http://www.saraltaxoffice.com
and got it to start; I had to do
sh winetricks vbrun60 dotnet20 mdac28 jet40
before it was more or less happy, and I had to
unpack and bypass the outer installer with
unzip setupex.exe
wine msiexec /i SetupIT.msi
to avoid the problem that the 'install' button on the
outer installer didn't seem to do anything.

Ooops thats not the software. Very sorry, didn't know something similar existed.

The software i'm using can be found here,

So, a lot of your errors go away if you do
sh winetricks mfc40 mdac28 jet40
before installing. However, it looks like the app
uses DCOM, which Wine does not yet implement,
so you're probably out of luck.
(And sadly, DCOM98 doesn't help here, the app crashes.)

Ok, so I guess i'm stuck with Windows till "DCOM" implementation improves in wine.

Meanwhile should I submit Winman-Saraltax to AppDB?

And thanks a ton for looking into my query!

Yeah, be sure to mention the winetricks recipe, too.
