msvcrt.dll._except_handler4_common

Hello!

I'm getting always the following error message when I try to install some Windows apps with wine (eg. NuSphere phpIDE, or MS Visio 2003, which both should work fine)::

wine: Call from 0x6edabb32 to unimplemented function msvcrt.dll._except_handler4_common, aborting

I downloaded the DLL from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... tml?msvcrt and replaced it in wine's System32 folder, but still getting the same error. Is this a knowing issue and how can I resolve it?

BTW: I tried it with all 3 release candidates of wine 1.0.

Did you set the override in winecfg?

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I deleted the previous msvcrt.dll in System32 before copying the new one from the dll website.

EDIT: When I type winecfg I get the same error, when I try to install something. I have also removed wine with Adept and reinstalled it, but that didn't make it better

Looks like you already got some configuration changes in there.
Removing Wine won't remove it's "configuration" - registry and "fake c:" drive. To remove those run 'rm -rf ~/.wine' or to put it aside, in case you have something valuable there, run 'mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-old'.

Reinstalling wine won't help; the problem is with your configuration settings.
The easiest way to reset it to the defaults is:

Code: Select all

mv ~/.wine{,.backup}
wineboot

The first command renames your .wine directory to .wine.backup (in case you want to get it back), the second will force creation of a new .wine directory. You will then have to reinstall your program(s).

A safer way to get msvcrt.dll is with winetricks: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
