Application does not start or lacks functionalities

Francesco Pietra · Post by **Francesco Pietra** » Tue May 27, 2008 2:43 am

Following upgrading from etch to lenny (Debian Linux i386 gnome) the two Windods applications that I used either do not start or lack functionality.
Installed wine wine_bin wine_utils libwine_alsa _cms _gl _gphoto _ldap vers 1.0-rc1-1_print _sane. I have purged out completely all these file and reinstalled. Same errors below:

The application that does not start:

francesco@deb32:~$ "/home/francesco/.wine/drive_c/myfirstprogram.EXE"
fixme:ole:CoResumeClassObjects stub
francesco@deb32:~$

francesco@deb32:~$ wine "c:\myfirstprogram.EXE"
fixme:ole:CoResumeClassObjects stub
francesco@deb32:~$

The application that lacks functionality:

francesco@deb32:~$ "/home/francesco/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/mysecondprogram.exe"
fixme:msvcrt:__lconv_init stub
fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x16f2c0)
err:ole:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke did not find member id -518, flags 0x4!
err:ole:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke did not find member id -517, flags 0x4!

fixme:shdocvw:OleObject_Close (0x16f2c0)->(1)
fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x10098), partial stub!
fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub!

Thanks for any suggestion to fix the problems.

Wrong. Read FAQ http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ for a proper way to start win applications.

Obviously, what you suggest is just equivalent to what I did. Nonetheless, I tried the (contorted) FAQ way: obviously with the same errors.

No. from the errors I presented - although I have absolutely no knowledge of Windows - I suspect that the Debian package in lenny may have some faulty, perhaps not installing ole32.

Wrong.

No. If he has binfmt-support installed, that would work.

Try 1.0-rc2-1, available in sid, and see if it works better.

Otherwise, your report basically has no relevant information, so there's
no way to help you further if you don't tell us more.

No lots of windows programs break if you run then from outside of their directory. And even more break if they see some bogus path in argv[0].

Such as? Post complete terminal output including the commands you used.
Also what program are you running?

You have to install all wine-* packages.

I also read the post where you said "perhaps not installing ole32". That
is wrong, because the "fixme:ole" clearly shows that Wine's ole32
definitely *is* installed. It wouldn't show up otherwise.

So, go ahead and do as I say. Try 1.0-rc2-1, and if you need further
help, provide more information.

My idea about ole32 is probably wrong, unless it is damaged or lacking some dll. Searching better (I missed # updatedb before):

francesco@deb32:~$ locate ole32
/home/francesco/.OLDwine/drive_c/windows/system32/ole32.dll
/home/francesco/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ole32.dll
/usr/lib/wine/ole32.dll.so
/usr/lib/wine/stdole32.tlb.so
francesco@deb32:~$

Still wrong. Keep reading FAQ. Especially the part about the current work directory...

I'll wait until wine moves from sid to lenny (a max of ten days). Too busy at the moment with the queue for MD calculations.
Thanks
