Arcview 3.2

[Jack Newlevant]

"worked" (except mostly font glitches & help) on Wine 1.2.3 on Ubuntu
10.04 LTS since I installed it ~6 months ago. I used it daily, until
4 days ago, about the time I installed QGIS. Since then it won't
launch:
jack@freekbox:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/jack/.wine" wine
C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
/home/jack/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jack/Start\
Menu/Programs/ESRI/ArcView\ GIS\ 3.2/ArcView\ GIS\ 3.2.lnk

initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\ESRI\\AV_GIS30\\ARCVIEW\\BIN32\\arcview.exe" failed, status
c0000005

Switching (native,builtin) in winecfg makes no difference and this is
what I see in the file system:
jack@freekbox:~/winVis/drive_c/windows/system32$ ls -l odbc32*
-rw-r--r-- 1 jack jack 1032 2011-06-03 22:52 odbc32.dll

Thanks for any help you might be able to give,

That version is old. Upgrade.

Sounds like the new app did something to mess up the wineprefix. Using separate wineprefixes for each app will avoid this problem.

What you see in system32 are Wine's fake dlls. If you didn't copy native odbc32.dll to system32, changing the setting in winecfg won't do anything.
