Need help! Trying to install USPS Shipping Assistant in WINE

[madmatrix]

Hi All,

I just learned how to use wine to install windows application two days ago. So far I still couldn't figure out how to get USPS shipping assistant works in Wine. I have Wine 1.3.28 installed in Linux Mint 12. I get mono 28, dotnet 2.0, ie7 and vc++ installed. When I run the USPS application I still got some errors like below. Could anyone point out which is missing here? I google the GetVolumePathNameW issue, but somebody was saying the function is not implemented in Wine. But with 1.3.28 version, is that case still? Thanks guys and Merry Christmas..

If you're getting a fixme for something, that means it's not implemented. However, that fixme may have nothing to do with your app not working.

1.3.28 is old; trying upgrading to the latest development release (currently 1.3.35). Also, you should not have both mono and real .NET installed to the same wineprefix; pick one (I recommend .NET).

Thank you dimesio. I will try 1.3.35. I don't see this version in Linux mint 12. Should I just compile from the source? I will remove .net. Thanks.

I updated the version to 1.3.35 with .net 2.0 only. But still same errors. I wonder if something is still missing. I checked the USPS shipping assistant requirement. They require IE, .NET and printer driver. I already have everything but still have this error. Any advice?

Thank you.

Open a bug report. It's a free download - developers can play with it.

It seems that the fixmes usually don't prevent an application from running.

But I see an error in your list at the bottom:

Code: Select all

err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Timestamp: 12/24/2011 6:39:57 PM\nMessage: HandlingInstanceID: f047c181-3901-4862-8aea-76f93f219f45\r\nAn exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred and was caught.

That's probably the real problem, even if it's not helpful.
I googled briefly but didn't see anything fascinating.
