help with couponprinter.exe

winex · Post by **winex** » Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:36 pm

I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment and I have been trying to figure out a way to install the coupon printer from coupons.com on my Linux pc. I have wine 1.3.37 installed but the couponprinter.exe file causes WINE to crash every time that I reach the license agreement window. The "next" button is grayed out and I'm unable to proceed any further. Has anyone had any success in running this exe file with WINE?

I've already installed a Windows version of Firefox using WINE and now I just need to install the dll plugin that's included in the exe file. If it's not possible to complete the installation with WINE, I would truly appreciate it if someone who does have access to a Windows machine could email me the dll file. If you're willing to help with this please send me a PM. Thanks.

Files I need to extract from the exe file:
npcpbrk7.xpt
nccpbrk7.dll

If you're unable to download the exe file then try changing your user agent string.

Open firefox
Load about:config
Enter useragent in the filter box
Right click anywhere under the "Preference Name" section and select "New > String"
Enter "general.useragent.override" as the name
Enter "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1" as the value
Go back to the coupons.com download page and it should present you with the exe file

If it installs printer driver - it won't work on Wine.

If it crashes for some other reason - post complete terminal output. If it's too big, please use pastebin.

Here's the crash report.

I don't know if it installs a printer driver. I do know it installs a firefox plugin which is just a single dll file. If I could extract the dll file from the exe file then I would just manually install the plugin. Unfortunately I have to actually run the installation before I can access the included dll plugin. It always crashes a few seconds into the installation so no files ever get installed.

Hi winex,

you could try to install IE using "winetricks ie7". If it still doesn't work, file a bug.
