Running XP programs in wine

Dotan Cohen · Post by **Dotan Cohen** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 3:09 pm

Dan and everyone,
Winetricks does not leave me with a msvcr80.dll for any vcrun*
package. If I need to install the dll without winetricks, how can I do
that? Note that I have upgraded to wine-0.9.55.

Know that I appreciate all the assistance.

winetricks is just a convent way to grab and install the Microsoft
redistributable package. The vcrun2005 package is a lot more than just
msvcr80.dll so just placing that in some locations will not work. See
my other 2 posts today for what it installed.

When running winetricks vcrun2005 did it pop up a dialog box asking
you to accept a license? Where there any errors on the console when
you ran that?

You don't need to, and you shouldn't. msvcr80 is a prickly
beast, it doesn't just want to be copied, it wants to be gently
placed in a specially named directory. But fear not! winetricks
installs it perfectly well. Looky:

$ rm -rf .wine
$ sh winetricks vcrun2005
...
Install of vcrun2005 done
winetricks done.
$ find .wine/drive_c -iname 'msvcr80*'
.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msvcr80.dll
.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd/msvcr80.dll

See? Try exactly those steps and I bet you'll see it installed fine.

It did ask me to accept the licence, and the only errors that I got
were the usual display ":1.0" errors:

Ah, wait, it installed msvcr80.dll this time! This time I used
vcrun2005 without the SP on a fresh .wine. That's the only difference,
so it seems that only without the SP it will install msvcr80, and that
only if I didn't run a differnt vcrun previously.

I'm now getting stuck on installing iexplorer.exe, the download keeps
hanging. Always at a different point, but always before 50%. I let it
run all night and it won't download. Once I get that straightened out
I'll report back.

Thanks for the help and the patience.

Yes, it did install. Only when I run vcrun2005 (not 2008 or SP1) and
that only on a fresh ~/.wine. Prickly it is. Thanks, Dan.

Can you add that info to the appdb?

Will do. I'm also having a real hard time installing .NET 2.0, which
I've been suffering through for a few days now. I'll add info
regarding vcrun2005 and .NET 2.0 as soon as I get it installed.

Update for the archives. In wine 0.9.57 on a clean ~/.wine I installed
.NET, changed my Windows version from 2000 to XP in winecfg, and then
I could install Sony Vegas 8.0 in Ubuntu Linux. I have been unable to
test the application as I don't have a serial number (I am testing for
a neighbor) so as soon as we install on his machine I'll update the
thread with details as to how it runs. Thanks, everyone, for your help
and patience with us.
