Siemens Command Assistant not Starting

CGross · Post by **CGross** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:40 am

Upgraded to the new 1.5.2 Wine. Reinstalled everything, seems to start up better, but still full of errors.

I also get this error:

1

Code: Select all

Invalid parameter 
at System.Management.ManagementScope.Initialize() 
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Initialize() 
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Get() 
At Siemens_EMML.AppIsRegistered.DaysRemaning(Int32 
ProductCode, String Registration, String Signature)

Then the following error:

After that it asks for the registration, which the registry enters correctly. Get the error code that I copied into text, then says it's been registered for 0 days, the first error code again, then it exists out completely. The pastebin is the terminal output from the whole event.

Hi,

regarding the error message in the window, where is that databases folder supposed to be located? You could try to move that folder to your home directory, though that wouldn't be a proper fix.

imo the best thing you could do is to file a bug. Some of the fixmes indicate that your application wants some COM(+)-functionality, which isn't implemented in wine yet. Though I'm not sure, if it's the cause for your app failing.

Without a demo it will be much harder to get that bug fixed, though if a wine dev will be interested, he will tell you to get more verbose debug traces.

The Databases folder is located all the way in the C:\Program Files\Siemens\EMML Command Assistant\Databases. Which moving to the home folder did fix that. When I did load the application last, I did see in the background the commands for the program load and start to populate.

It seems the rest that's causing a failure now is it's lacking the ability to actually lock in the registration information, despite it being in the registry correctly.

When you're saying I should file a bug report, do you mean a report with Command Assistant or with Wine? I feel this is almost running.

File a bug report in wine. I would also create an appdb.winehq.org
page and submit your testing results.

What exactly is the bug I'm reporting? Just simply that this application wont start and here's my pastebin of why?

And I will open up a appdb page here shortly with my status thus far.

Hi,

yes, file a bug about application won't start, describe all the winetricks you used, attach a log (probably the same as in pastebin).

It may take some time, until this bug might be resolved. If you need it running right now, did you consider some alternatives like using VMWare or VirtualBox, maybe you could use some old (cheap) windows licenses like Windows 98 or Windows Xp in such a VM.
