Acrobat Reader won't start from an application

[Gargi]

I have installed a software working fine with WINE (some special financial software from my company I work for) but I can't get Acrobat Reader to launch, when I try to open a pdf File from that application. Acrobat is installed.

On the console I get this message:

Code: Select all

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

Same when I try that:

Code: Select all

wine start "%ProgramFiles%/Adobe/Reader 8.0/Reader/Legal/en_US/license.html"
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unable to retrieve URL from string L"\""
err:winebrowser:wmain Usage: winebrowser URL

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks for any help!

Also reinstalled this program and did not install Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows. Instead of that I did the trick described in the FAQ to use the native linux Acrobat Reader by registering the pdf program asossiation manually.

The pdf will be generated by the application in its temporary windows folder but also this way no Adobe Acrobat Reader is popping up showing that file. But the same message on the console:

Code: Select all

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

I'm so close to it to use that program under linux, just that only pdf thing
