Animation:Master 2004

[ghostcortex]

Hi all,

Has anyone got Animation:Master (preferably the 2004 version) working on Wine in Ubuntu? I know the AppDB lists Animation:Master 2005 rating as 'Garbage' because it requires the CD to run, but that hasn't been a problem for me.

The program actually shows the splash screen and appears to load quite well, but when the main program window appears, there is no mouse cursor (it disappears when hovering over the window) and the program appears completely frozen (keys and clicks don't respond).

Running the application from the terminal, I get the following output:

Code: Select all

[color=blue]monkeyjohn@monkeycon:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\Hash Inc\V10.5\Master.exe"
fixme:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Header type magic 0x00905a4d not supported.

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {d45fd2fc-5c6e-11d1-9ec1-00c04fd7081f} could be created for context 0x5[/color]

Originally, the program wouldn't run because wine lacks MFC42.dll, but I installed it using WineTricks.

I am running Hash Inc.'s Animation:Master (2004) v10.5r on Wine v1.2 on Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx) v10.04. Any help (including insight into these error messages) would be appreciated. ^_^

(I should also note that I am both a Wine and Linux novice, so please be kind to my technical ignorance.) Thank you!

P.S. Wine rocks!

Holy crud bubbles! I got it to work!

It turns out that all I needed to do was install Microsoft Agent 2.0 Core from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en, and it works fine! (I did have to set the Windows version of AgentSvr.exe located at 'C:\Windows\msagent' to Windows98, though.)

It totally took care of the

Code: Select all

err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {d45fd2fc-5c6e-11d1-9ec1-00c04fd7081f} could be created for context 0x5

It will probably work if you're having this error for a different application, too. Anyway, thanks for existing, community! I'll return to assist periodically.

(Now to update the AppDB. How do I do that, now?)

Something to add to winetricks, perhaps?

Create an account on the AppDb site (they are separate for more than one
reason and this has been discussed at length.) Select your application
and submit an update for the how-to. If the application does NOT have a
maintainer and you are willing to do what is necessary to be a
maintainer, then nominate yourself. If you do not want to take over
this responsibility, one of the site generic maintainers will have to
approve it. If there is a maintainer, they will have to approve your
suggestion.

If there is no entry for this program, create one please!
