I have a new 64-bit computer and the OS is Xubuntu 14.04.
The Linux version on my 64-bit computer is 3.13.0-29-generic (buildd@toyol) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) ) #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC 2014
The foxpro 2.6 for windows worked wonderfully through wine 1.6 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4, installed via ubuntu software Center. In the early morning of Sunday the 8th June 2014, through the Software Updater, I installed all the recommended updates. After this update, the foxpro stopped working through wine. (Prior to this, the updates were carried out on 4th June 2014). When I try to give the command wine foxprow.exe, it gives the following massage: modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument
modify_ldt: Invalid argument

modify_ldt: Invalid argument
err:module:attach_process_dlls "krnl386.exe16" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winevdm.exe" failed, status c0000005
Tried to copy the installed FPW26 folder in various places : in /opt or .wine or home folder etc. Same message obtained. Uninstalled wine 1.6 and installed 1.7. Same problem. Again uninstalled 1.7 and reinstalled wine 1.6 but stuck with same problem.
Switching to 32-bit by adding a line WINEARCH=win32 through sudo nano /etc/environment also did not work in both wine 1.6 and wine 1.7
THEREFORE, I feel, the update process made some nasty change in the basic Xubuntu which has resulted in this problem. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem.
By the way, everyday, for more than 2 years, I had been running Foxprow for windows, through wine, on my old computer which unfortunately had to be junked.
