QuickLOAD won't run

Post by antimatter »

Hello,

I am trying to run a program called QuickLOAD with wine under Linux Mint 16. This app is not listed in the AppDB. While the installation process works fine, I can not run it. After dismissing an initial warning dialog window (about using the calculated ballistics results with caution), I only get a very small (100x40 px) window with the title "QuickLOAD" and just black inside it. Nothing more happens and I press the top-right "close". A few seconds later, I get a message box from Linux, telling me that this app is not responding and I can kill it or give it more time.

Dependency-Walker on windows showed, that the programs EXE depends on MSVBVM50.DLL. So, the program is most probably developed with Visual Basic 5. I installed the package "vb5run" via winetricks.

Running the program with wine in a terminal, I get this on stdout/stderr:

Code: Select all

$ wine Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/QuickLOAD/QLOADFW.EXE

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000006 at address 0x7bc4717b (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Here, nothing more happens. According to some other posts, the debugger should print lots of debug information. But on my machine, that's all I get.

I am not experienced with wine. What else can I try?

[SOLVED] QuickLOAD won't run

Well, just after creating this thread, I got it to run.
I installed the latest stable version 1.6 via PPA and that did it. Whatever you did between 1.4 and 1.6... nice job!
