cdosys.dll compatibility with wine

[jduffas]

hi !

I try to use a program from Alpheus : ether
it is used to drive lights for recital aquariums.
it should too send emails when problem is detected by the module.

the problem is that it uses the cdosys.dll and this dll seams not to be working correctly with wine (1.7.16)

when dll in win32 then activated with a : regsvr32 cdosys.dll ,the app start then bug.

any idea ?

thank you

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine.

cdosys.dll is not a hardware driver, it is used to send mail.

I think I didn't explain correctly the way it works :

the module is accessible by bluetooth.
this is not a problem, I did it with a ln -s /dev/tty.alpheuslighting-alpheus com1
so com1 became the bluetooth.
the module works fine with wine, and with the app.

the problem is the app can't send email.
when I try to (there is a test button) it gives me an error (because the cdosys.dll is missing).
I tried to add the dll in win32 and actived it with a regsvr32 cdosys.dll
when I do this, when the app try to send an email, it bugs.

that's why I would like to know if cdosys.dll works with wine, and if it does, what should I do.

thank you

Try upgrading Wine to the latest development release, and if the problem persists, file a bug.

I tried with the last dev version (1.7.25 with the mac app "playonmac"), and the problem is still there...
but perhaps I got wrong somewhere...
did someone tried to use this dll ?
and if so, did it worked or not ?

PlayOnMac is not supported here. Retest in plain Wine.

I now installed an ubuntu 14.04 then wine the last one (1.7.25)
I can't even record a new dll with regsvr32
it says it can't load the dll
so I can't try it.
