Serif webplus X5

Post by via »

I was wondering if serif webplus (X5) is going to be worked on in the near future.. All the other windows programs that i need run flawlessly under wine, this one is the only thing that is keeping me from switching fully to Linux. I noticed that webplus X10 works great on Ubunty but what about this version?

I don't see any bugs filed for it, so there's nothing "to be worked on." Have you even tested it in current Wine?

Yes, I installed it but can't find a way to open it. The .exe file is nothing more but an installer, it's supposed to create some kind of a shortcut on the desktop but it doesn't. Am I doing something wrong here?

Ok, when I attempt to uninstall it I get a message saying that it crashed because it can only run on xp or 7.
As for the terminal, I get this:

Code: Select all

fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"LaunchConditions" returned 1603

What do you have the Windows version set to in winecfg? The default is XP, and you shouldn't change that without a reason.

The failed uninstall probably messed up the wineprefix even more. Delete ~/.wine and reinstall; a new ~/.wine will automatically be created when you run the installer.

You haven't mentioned what Wine version you're using; if it's not the latest development release (1.5.2 just came out), upgrade. Follow these instructions to run from a terminal:http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal. If it doesn't work, post the output (if long, use pastebin and post a link).

First of all, thank you very much for your reply. The windows version is set to xp, I haven't changed it. And yes, it's the latest version.

I deleted the folder and restarted my pc but still, only Program Loader shows up when I attempt to reinstall it. I tried to do so using the terminal, but I got the exact same messages. Should I remove anything that has to do with Wine?

I'm not sure what you mean by "only Program Loader shows up." Post the terminal output, including the command used to run the installer.

You're right, I wasn't being very specific. When I right-click on the program's icon to install it (have to choose between Wine and that CrossOver thing that I installed in hope that the problem would thus go away or something), the only option that is available for me is to load the program and not to install it.

Code: Select all

wine WebPlusX5-EN.exe
fixme:event:wait_for_withdrawn_state window 0x20022/2600001 wait timed out
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"LaunchConditions" returned 1603
Isn't it the right command for this? I saw it in the wiki.

Is the log you posted from a clean wineprefix (no winetricks or other tweaks, nothing else installed)? If not, delete or rename the wineprefix and start over, and post the output from that. If it is from a clean wineprefix, using current Wine, file a bug.

It's not. I deleted the .wine folder and created a new one by running winecfg. I'm just giving these details in case I'm doing something wrong here.
I soon after attempted to run the installer and, once again, got this:

Code: Select all

wine ESDPK-WPX5-WebPlusX5-EN.exefixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"LaunchConditions" returned 1603
So there is nothing that can be done?
