LinkWord Language Learing Software W/ ActiveX error

jsable1975 · Post by **jsable1975** » Fri May 30, 2008 7:45 am

Hi all,

I am new to Wine and Linux. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine 1.0-rc2 on an old Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop.
For the last couple of days, I have been trying to get my Linkword language learning software to work on my laptop (Rosetta Stone seems like a lost cause at this point).
A little about this program, it is a "stand alone" type program, and by that I mean you don't have to install anything. You can just throw in the CD-Rom and click on the *.exe file and off you go. Also, you can copy the whole CD to your HDD and click on the *.exe and it works flawlessly (at least on a windoze machine). Currently, I have copied the CD-Rom to my hard disk drive. When I run it in, all of the instruction screens appear and work fine, but when you click on the final "next" to start the actual program, I get a pop up with the following error:

Run-time error - '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

When I ran it from the terminal, this is what I get for the output:

john@Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$ wine Lw24.exe
fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0xa5e284,7366,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x32fae8), partially implemented.
fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile (0x127a60)->(0x12cc20, 0, (nil)), hacked stub.
john@Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$ fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosErrorNoTeb no mapping for 8000000a
john@Buntu-Box:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Greek$

I have no idea what this means, so any help that anyone can provide would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks,

John

Where can I get the ole32 package? It is not on the package list when I run winetricks.

Then one you want is "dcom98".

Tell winetricks to install dcom98. This will install native ole32, oleaut32, and rpcrt4 and set the overrides. The overrides will apply to any other program installed in the same wineprefix, so there is a risk it will mess up another program that's working fine without them. (That can be fixed in winecfg--just be aware you might have to do it.)

Is there a list to tell what packages contain which files? Now I am getting the following error when I run in a terminal:

fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION

I can't figure out which package contains ntdll

None contain ntdll. You can't override it with native, it requires
extremely low level access.
