[Ow That Hurts]

I get the following error when trying to run Paywindow Payroll with Wine 1.4

exception class: EdxGdlpException
exception message: Invalid operation in GDI+ (Code: 1).

In the bug report window for the program, there is a panel / tab called disasm, and there are a few columns in it:

Under address, it says 007e92d0

Under asm code it says: call -$3dff71 ($409364)

Under comments it says: ; System.@RaiseExcept

Your Wine version is old; upgrade to the latest development release. If that doesn't fix it, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Thanks for the note.

I am somewhat new to this, so I hope you will bear with me:

"Your Wine version is old; upgrade to the latest development release."

You mean I should upgrade to 1.7.3 right???

Also, do I have to uninstall my current (1.4) version of wine first?

Can I use sudo apt-get install to install the latest version? (I am running bodhi Linux which is based on ubuntu but there is no software manager, per se, but there is synaptic package manager and it supports apt-get in the terminal).

If I can use sudo apt-get, would someone please be so kind to give me the full command? Thanks in advance.

"If that doesn't fix it, post terminal output."

Sorry to trouble you, but would it be possible for someone to tell me how to escape the command line for cd properly if the file to be executed by wine is in this folder path:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Paywindow Payroll/paywin.exe

I know I need to escape the spaces but do I need to escape the ( and the ) character with \ as well?

Yes.

If you're using a distro package, your package manager should take care of uninstalling the old version when you upgrade. If you build Wine yourself, run make uninstall before installing the new version.

As for how to use synaptic, I can't help you; I'm on openSUSE. Ask your distro.
