Visual C++ installation Help?

Wineexperiments187 · Post by **Wineexperiments187** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 11:21 pm

Hi I installed a program through Wine without much of a problem
But then It flashes a Error message Saying "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error"

I assume I need to install the Visual C++ libraries through WineTricks. to at least to try to fix the Problem

I got Winetricks installed and Ready...I think.
Now I just need a walkthrough on how to install the Visual C++ Libraries through Winetricks/WINE

Anyone Want to help me out here?

You might want to visit the Winetricks Wine Wiki page at
http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks.

Also, it might be nice to know which version of Visual C++ the program
needs.

Hello,first open Winetricks
1-Select the default wineprefix.
2-Install a Windows DLL or component.
3- chose of any option in VCRUN2005 or other.
clic on that you want to choose and clic OK and the installation begin.

I have done what you have told me but I am not sure if they were installed correctly or if they Did anything...

How can I tell if they were installed at all?

Also, In the VCRUN2005 it won't let me download it for some reason...
It says:
sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/boyz/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2005/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.

WHAT does this mean??
this has been happening when I try to download and install some games through WINEtricks too.

Any ideas?

The file it downloaded does not match the checksum that is expected
for that file meaning either the download is corrupt (which the
message for renaming the file will fix), your winetricks is old, or
winetricks needs to be updated becuause microsoft changed their
download.

I wouuld first try renaming the file your output says to rename and
then try winetricks again.

Most likely its WINEtricks that needs to be updated with the new links.

1. I Got my WineTricks Recently so im sure its not that old...
But if so how do I update it?

2. Can't download it at all so... The File can't be corrupt.

3. How do I rename the file as the output says it needs?
4. OR is it better to just download and install a 2010 version of VCRUN?

Also Dimesio

The link that you stated has no functional link for me to get the VCRUNS of 2005 and 2008

I assume thats the problems with Winetricks when not updated.

No, Microsoft is known to move files around their site. There is a
'sneaky' method of getting the files, and that is to retrieve them
from Microsoft direct and then save them in the winetricks cache
directory. You will have to do this from within Wine and hope that
the 'Genuine Check' program passes. Dan Kegel and/or Austin English
should be working on this, hopefully.

It wasn't meant to. I was merely pointing out that the download problem had already been reported.

There is no WGA check for the Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 runtimes; they can be downloaded directly in a Linux browser with no problem.

winetricks-20110628 fixes this, so downloading a fresh copy from
http://winetricks.org/winetricks
should do the trick.

I was pinged once with the WGA check so this was more a warning that
this may happen than it will happen. Wine passed at the time without
problems.

How?

The link that you gave me... I can't find out where to download the
Wine version-20110628

Is it the same way on how I downloaded Wine in the first place?

No. This is not downloading wine. It is downloading the winetricks
script. Instructions are here:

I think I will start another thread for people to help me on trouble shooting my real problem...

No the winetricks script has nothing at all to do with installing
wine. It does not even touch the wine install. Read the instructions
for winetricks.

Hello !

I installed Wine on OSX.

Then wget because it doesn't come with OSX.

And winetricks, although it didn't install correctly/

"Jkirk279$ sh winetricks
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned unexpanded string '%ProgramFiles%' ... can be caused a corrupt wineprefix, an old wine, or by not owning /Users/Jkirk279/.wine"

I then used the instructions on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=9569

The process went okay and downloaded all ten .cab segments.

I downloaded the .bat file and the Extract.exe file.

And I entered "wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"

But I got this message:

"Jkirk279$ wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Environment variable not found"

Can somebody translate ? The .bat file should have triggered Extract.exe, combined the ten segments into one and run the installer, correct ?

Thanks...

Batch files are not exe's, so start.exe probably isn't the appropriate thing to execute them with. They are DOS/command prompt scripts, analogous to bash scripts. They are text files with a list of command prompt commands.

Fortunately, WINE has its own command prompt. Try using that.

Go to terminal, and type in "wine cmd.exe". Now you should be in the WINE cmd shell. Try and get it to run the batch file.

Cheers,
Jake

Jkirk3279 · Post by **Jkirk3279** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:20 am

I tried the wine cmd.exe command and it runs.

But trying to run the .bat file got this:

Z:\Users\Jkirk279\desktop>run PSDK-FULL.bat
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\run.exe"
File not found

Hmm. I ran winecfg. I got "failed to connect to the mount manager" in the X11 Drives dialog window.

Does this imply Wine's not emulating the drive tree correctly ?

If the installer can't find the run.exe command then I doubt any DOS commands will run.

I hope there's a suggestion to test that.

Maybe there's a way to reset wine ?

SpawnHappyJake · Post by **SpawnHappyJake** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:57 am

No, this is not a WINE drive mapping bug. There really is no C:\windows\system32\run.exe. Neither in WINE or in Windows. I just checked for myself.

If you Google "run.exe" people say that it is malware.

Hope it works out,
Jake

Jkirk3279 · Post by **Jkirk3279** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 12:07 pm

Uhm, I really doubt this is malware. I just installed Wine.

And if the error is coming FROM Wine ... I suspect it's that the DOS command line interface in Wine is looking for C:\windows\system32\run.exe to launch the program but it's not there.

Other DOS commands like DIR work.

But...

"Z:\Users\Jkirk279\documents\helix>HELIX.EXE
fixme:module:__wine_load_dos_exe DOS executables not supported on this platform
winevdm: can't exec 'Z:\Users\Jkirk279\documents\helix\HELIX.EXE': invalid program file"

Okay. Wine has a cmd shell, but while it looks just like DOS it can't launch executables IN DOS.

Can somebody suggest the proper way to launch my PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp" ?

I need to combine the .cab segments. If the instructions are wrong or outdated, how can I do that in Terminal ?

Jkirk3279 · Post by **Jkirk3279** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 1:55 am

Well, I couldn't find a way to launch the .bat file, but I opened it and found a simple command to activate the Expand app.

I copied it out, ran it and the .cab segments were assembled and installed.

But nothing came of it, the same issue I had with using Crossover:

I can't find an executable to run in the install directory. which has me puzzled.

Has anybody used Visual C++ ?

I have had some success building C++ applications from the VS 2005
version that is/was in winetricks. However I never tried to install
the platform sdk.
