Hello,
i am trying to run Altium Designer Winter 09 on Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine.
Altium Designer is a portable application. So their is no need to install. Just run it.

It runs very well on my windows partition but not on ubuntu.
The message is :
"Unable to find DLL C:\Program Files\Altium Designer Winter 09\dxp.exe->winmm.dll"
"Launching dxp.exe"
"Licensed by VmWare, Inc"
"Powered by VMware"

So i tried to copy winmm.dll from my windows xp partition to \wine\c:\windows\system32
But it does not work.
What could i do ?

Thanks for your help.

I installed the application in Wine and do not get this error. At least this is
true for recent Wine (1.1.14). Even If I try to run not installed ADW09
(from another Wine prefix) I don't get this error.
Unfortunately it will crash on startup for other reason even if installed
correctly. I found this bug not so long ago and as soon as I find some free
time I will file a bug report for it (or you can do this yourself now but you
need to install your program properly in Wine or your bug report will be marked
as INVALID; also upgrade to at least 1.1.14 is recommended if you are using
older version).

I just tried again. ADW09 can run in Wine if mdac25 is
installed with winetricks (that means the bug is in builtin odbc32). To do this
run this command:

winetricks mdac25

Then AWD09 should run.
