Unable to access registry
Unable to access registry
I'm attempting to get our Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting to work under Wine in Ubuntu 7.10. The install went smoothly with 0 issues however when i try to run it , it takes about 10s and then exits w/out any errors. So i fired up its database manager since i know it tries to start it first and i get an error message saying Unable to access registry. I've seen that on windows and its because the user does not have permission to access registry keys. Is there a way to fix this on WINE? There are no permission settings that im aware of. If i can get this to work i'm pretty sure it will work. Any help would be appreciated, this is my first experience w/ WINE.
Re: Unable to access registry
What software is it? What Wine version? Attach complete terminal output of running that db manager.Untol wrote:I'm attempting to get our Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting to work under Wine in Ubuntu 7.10.

Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting
Wine 0.9.56
As far as attaching the terminal output.
Heres what i input:
jars@jars-desktop:~$ wine /home/jars/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sage\ Software/Peachtree/peachw.exe
it enters fine. and i just get my prompt right after that line.
When calling the database manager directly i enter:
jars@jars-desktop:~$ wine /home/jars/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sage\ Software/Peachtree/W32MKDE.EXE
It also seems to go through fine, at least at the terminal window however it opens up the application which basically just shows a log of activity for the manager and all it shows is :
16:36:33 MKDE2060: ERror reading the registry. Error code:2
If there is a way to get more output from wine please tell me, like i said this is my first experience with it, so im not very familiar w/ debugging etc.
edit:
Ok i've done some messing around and got it to finally read the registry, doing so naturally screws up the install specifications regarding max locks etc, so i manually matched them to what i have on a windows machine here. However when i try and start peachtree via command prompt i still get nothing. No errors or anything, it just gives me a prompt again after about 10s. I dont doubt there is a way to see more then what im seeing and im searchign through the wiki right now but any help would be greatly appeciated.

OK i've gotten alot of this to work, however where i seem to be hitting a wall now is the application seems to be unable to create files. Especially tmp files. Is this a permissions issue? Typically once i create the file myself (even an empty file) the program can progress to the next step. But anytime the program itself attempts to create a file i get a nice "unable to create xxx file" and it will either close or not complete the action.
Any suggestions?

Did you ever run wine as root/sudo?

i installed win using sudo apt-get install wine.
I have made some progress after about 4 hours of wrestling with it. I'd say im to the point right now where i just dont think it will run, without some pretty knowledgeable help. After manually finishing most of the install bc it fails to complete past the reboot stage, i got it to load up(after modifying the registry to match what i currently run on windows, with obvious changes for paths), prompt for username/password, and it loads into its default "home" page. However gecko fails to display that, and 75% of all the menu tasks cause it to crash. I tried out crossover and couldn't even get it to get that far so i guess that is a bonus.
The software uses .net, is it possible to...either isntall that or install something that would imitate it? Im thinking thats at the root of alot of the problems im having.
@austin
I do typically cd to the directory to call it, they both work the same way. I am getting quite a bit of information spit out at me now that it actually loads, lots of fixme:ras errors , and things of that nature.

No, they don't. Some windows apps depend on having the full path@austin
