E-sword setup in Ubuntu 14.04 with Wine.

Post by chihwahli »

Installed:
- 10.3 E-sword, it's the latest version as of juli 2014
- Wine tricks

According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=404042
I have installed Msls31.dll and mfc42.dll with winetricks. Above post mentions their need.

I try to start e-sword from command prompt: wine xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/e-sword.exe
But nothing happens... what can I do?

I am trying this link now: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... ngId=72769

- vcrun6 package installs without problems with winetricks

- install msxml3 package
Winetricks installation of msxml3, will open web link, download the file msxml3.msi from:
http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-XML- ... =n&hlndr=1

put it into home/user-name/.cache/winetricks/msxml3
Then use wine to install this file. I get the following error:

Executing w_do_call vb6run
Executing load_vb6run
fixme:ole:DllRegisterServer stub
------------------------------------------------------
vb6run install completed, but installed file /home/chihwahli/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/syswow64/MSVBVM60.DLL not found

What can I do to fix this error?

What Wine version?
The app starts fine here in Wine 1.7.23, but you have to wait for ~15-20 seconds until the program is loaded.

1. create a new (and clean) 32-bit wineprefix: 'WINEARCH=win32 winecfg'
2. install e-Sword: 'wine setup1030.exe'. mfc42 is already installed in /system32
3. cd to the directory containing e-Sword and run: 'wine e-Sword.exe'

I'm not sure if native msxml3 and vbscript are really needed with recent Wine versions, but I haven't tested the app extensively.

I tried a clean install of Ubuntu and did not change anything.
1) $ Sudo apt-get update.
2) $ sudo apt-get install wine
3) restart
4) $ wine setup1030.exe
5) started E-sword: wine e-Sword.exe

(above steps: you need to asjust the path where the exe file is ,etc. Wine installs in you user homedirectory as a hidden folder .wine. Press ALT+H to reveal hidden folders)
and it worked great....seems most important functions are working. I also installed all my extra
commentaries, bibles and dictionaries. :D
