BioEdit fails to load after first 'next' click

Post by octopus »

Hi

I have installed Wine 1.6 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.4. Also have installed mdac27 via winetricks. XQuartz is also installed and functioning. In attempting to install BioEdit [reported as compatible at least to Wine 1.4.1] the system hangs after the first of the MSI windows appears and I click on next. Then
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
appears and the system goes no further. I also tried running WINEDEBUG and it seems that it attempts to draw the window with the license information but gets stuck in the middle somehow. The final line that appears is
0018:Ret PE DLL (proc=0x403b0f17,module=0x40370000 L"rpcrt4.dll",reason=THREAD_DETACH,res=0x0) retval=1
. There are additional instances of a similar line just before this one. as well. The process running at the time are:
PID TTY TIME CMD
647 ttys000 0:00.07 -zsh
2352 ttys000 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/wine setup.exe
2353 ttys000 0:03.26 /usr/local/Cellar/wine/1.6/bin/wine.bin setup.exe
2373 ttys000 0:14.36 /usr/local/Cellar/wine/1.6/bin/wine.bin MSIEXEC.EXE /i C:\users\Octopus\Temp\_isd771\BioEdit.msi

I killed this soon after starting but the first time through the MSIEXEC process went for 27 minutes.

If anyone has an idea of what else to try?

Thanks
