Hi,
I'm trying to install wow to try it on linux mandriva 2008.1.
But when i execute the install, i see the windows license but without focus and i can't accept it.
The message in the console is this:
fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_Load (0x1298c8)->(0x32eb5c)
fixme:shdocvw:OleControl_FreezeEvents (0x1298c8)->(1)
fixme:shdocvw:OleControl_FreezeEvents (0x1298c8)->(0)
fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_Stop (0x1298c8)
fixme:bidi:mirror stub: mirroring of characters not yet implemented
What can I do?
Thanks for the help..
Wow 10 days-version
HI,
The console messages are normal and don't tell anything.
Do you know what is supposed to happen under native (real) Windows ? At least two possibilities come to mind.
One is that you need to scroll to the bottom of the licence agreement (pretending you have read it all the way through) before you can 'accept' it.
Another is that there is a window control (a checkbox perhaps) that hasn't been displayed.
In the first case, bug 4756, bug 13864 and bug 11298 each describe pretty much the same thing for some other application. According to the fix list, bug 13864 is fixed in Wine 1.1.0 so you might like to try that (you didn't say which version of Wine you are running and you really, really should if you want people to help).
In the second case, try tabbing around the screen. The hidden control might magically appear. It might not. If it doesn't, the cursor might disappear and reappear. Tab round until the cursor disappears and click your left mouse button. Again, the hidden control might appear, it might not. Tabbing might not move the cursor. Try clicking just to the left of the 'I accept' text (or the right or whereever the screen layout suggests a hidden control might lie).
If that doesn't work, try installing the application under Windows and note down exactly how you get the licence agreement agreed etc. Then try again under Wine 1.1.0. If you still have a problem, raise a bug report, especially if you've got the same symptoms as bug 13864.
If you get your application installed, let the forum know how you did it.

Hi,
Thanks for the rapid answer.
For the wine version point, i try the 0.9..... which is include in the mandriva's repository, next the 1.0.1 verion and even the 1.1.0 which i use now.
I don't know if can change something but i have a 64 bit cpu.
You're right I should scroll to the bottom of the licence to accept it but the scroll is at the bottom of the windows. And the licence windows don't the focus and if i try to accpet it, sounds a hardware noise.
Here I am. I don't detalle the bug 4756, bug 13864 and bug 11298 now. But i 'll try them this evening/night.
Thanks another time for answer. If i'll find something i'll post...

Hi,
After a lot of time seaching in the web... I executed the program like the other times. And viewing that no going to work another time i clicked nutly a while the licence windows. And after seconds the hardware sounds disapppeared. I finaly canned accept the eula.
I don't have any idea what happened, perhaps my tears are magical.
Now i have to find why i have a black when I execute Wow.exe instead of the launcher.exe works finely.
A driver problem i hope...
Thanks for the help...
