Unhandled Exception running Lotus Notes 8.5.3

Post by mwolf »

I have a windows 7 installation and an Arch x86_64 installation dual-booting. I'm trying to run Lotus Notes 8.5.3 in wine from the windows install. I copied program directory from

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\
to

Code: Select all

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/
. According to the app db (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=25877) I need to run it with -sa flag so I run

Code: Select all

wine notes.exe -sa
and I get the splash screen for a second then the following error: https://gist.github.com/m3wolf/6716344

The docs for Arch - Wine say that I can run wine as a 32 bit environment so I also tried setting up a new wineprefix:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine notes.exe -sa
but to no avail.

Have you tried installing it properly?

Well both the appdb entries for 8.5.X claim that the full installer crashes and recommend copying from a windows install. They also say you can try the basic installer, which I'm still trying to get ahold of; you have to have an IBM ID which I'm not sure how to get.

The most recent test report is over a year old. Try it in current Wine.
