e-sword doesn't appear to be entered in registry

tmkkeller · Post by **tmkkeller** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 4:15 pm

Installed wine on KDE desktop of Fedora 16. I have wine 1.3.33. Then ran e-sword 10.0.5 installer which ran apparently correctly as there were no error messages. E-sword runs from the menu just fine, in that the program opens all the windows which all function as expected except for the search function. This returns no information although the dialog opens as it should and remembers search terms and can be completely configured for all available option. The programs author suggests that vbscpript.dll is not registered. I used the regedit tool to look at the wine registry and I think he is correct. In fact there do not appear to be any e-sword related entries at all. I have never manually edited the registry so I haven't any idea as to where in the registry to locate the link, nor the correct syntax. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Register it with:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 /path/to/vbscript.dll

Use the actual path to the dll.

I'll have to verify and update the Applications Database entry for this program.

I have downloaded this version and did not notice this when I was
testing it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I'll also
confirm with Michael.

It appears that vbscript.dll is not installed at least I can not find it on my hard drive.

It should be in the wineprefix's /drive_c/windows/system32 directory.

You can install it with winetricks wsh56vb.

Winetricks did place a copy of vbscript.dll in the system32 directory. Your previous post said regsvr32 is that in a shell window? Not my bash . . .
