Problem with Windows app accessing internet

Charlie-the-exile · Post by **Charlie-the-exile** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 2:50 pm

Hi

I have been using MCC Pilotlog with some success in Wine recently, but have run into a vexatious issue.

One of the features of the application is that it can log into a company crew information system and retrieve flight information into the log. I have tested this on a windows VM, and it works fine.

However, under Wine, we get error 445 and then a crash. I am a bit surprised, as I thought that the IE-mimicking facilities in Wine would be able to cope.

I've contacted the MCC developers about the issue, and they cannot throw too much light on the subject, but suggest that this is a code chink that may be causing the problem:

Code: Select all

For Each HTMLi In WebBr.Document.getElementsByName("Id")
    HTMLi.Value = TxtLoginName
Next
 
For Each HTMLi In WebBr.Document.getElementsByName("Pass")
    HTMLi.Value = TxtPassword
Next
 
For Each HTMLi In WebBr.Document.getElementsByName("B1")
    HTMLi.Click
    Exit For
Next

Here's some terminal output copied at the relevant time:

I have been able to use the target website with the Wine IE browser, after changing the user-agent string.

All input gratefully received!

One more thing:

I have had to set Windows version as Win 7 in winecfg, as the XP and Vista options did not work!

There are many bug reports with this exact GUID in them. Time to file
an additional report.

BTW, this is used for to show a possible certificate to site mismatch
dialog box.

Thanks, James

Can you tell me how to see the GUID from the information I have posted above? I'd like to take a look at other bugs (I have already filed a new one:

The key here was that the code kept coming back with 'not implemented'
and this may or may not affect the ability to run your program, but the
crash occurred immediately after one of the 'fixmes' that addressed this
issue. I tried to look up information on how to use/implement this
feature, but MSDN had none and I was unable to find any other
information on this other than 'this is deprecated, use the call that
replaced it'.

Did you try
winetricks ie6
or
winetricks ie7
(mutually exclusive)? Until Wine's better at mimicking IE, the real
thing sometimes works.

Charlie-the-exile · Post by **Charlie-the-exile** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 3:16 pm

Dan

Many thanks for this- installing ie7 worked. I am very sorry not to have seen and replied to your post earlier- don't know how I missed it.

I will update the AppDB entry now.

Cheeeers!

Charlie

Charlie-the-exile · Post by **Charlie-the-exile** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 9:15 am

OK, we still seem to have a bit of an issue here:

After installing ie7, initially everything worked, but after rebooting, it seemed that the same problem reoccurred.

So, I installed ie8, and all was well... until a reboot. Of course, winetricks doesn't easily re-install ie, not that that would be a great solution, anyway.

So what's going on here? How can we fix this?

Cheers
Charlie

delphi · Post by **delphi** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 10:46 am

That code doesn't work, because getElementsByName is unimplemented. Please create bug.

Charlie-the-exile · Post by **Charlie-the-exile** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 10:48 am

Bug already created- 25771.

However, I'm really curious as to why the workaround stops working after a reboot!

Go on- can anyone shed any light on this? Very strange that it works until I reboot my laptop. I don't see any processes that are not running that were before...

Pleeese!

Sounds like something that is happening with a configuration file that
is reset when you reboot. Either that or a file that loads when you
run through the fix process.

You may also be dropping an environment configuration, something that
Wine cannot control.

Try the following:

env > environment.before.reboot.txt

reboot

env > envirornment.after.reboot.txt

diff -u environment.before.reboot.txt environment.after.reboot.txt

If there are no differences, I'm out of ideas.

Dunno the significance to this problem, if any, but I don't
ordinarily expect to see DISPLAY=:1 unless to signify the
second head of a two-headed setup. Does your system in fact
have two monitors (or two video cards, even if only one is
in use)? If so, were the two env dumps taken while using
different monitors or cards?

Hi Perry

No, nothing going on like that- one monitor, using nVidia card on my laptop. It's a good spot, though, I really don't know why that crops up.

I'm not to familiar with this issue. Do you think it has anything to do with a security technologies? Sometimes there are security issues that make this problem pop up.

I'm not sure of the relevance of the above. Is it spam?

Anyway, all assistance appreciated.

OK- here's something else that I have found:

I uninstalled, then reinstalled IE, so that this feature was working. Then, I made a copy of the whole wine environment, and tested again. Then I logged-out and logged in again.

The feature was still working.

so, I ran wineboot, and the feature remained functional.

So, I rebooted my laptop, then tried again, and I found that the problem reoccurred. So, I reverted to the copied environment (from when the internet-accessing feature was working) back to the original location, and found that I still had the problem.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyway, it seems to mean that the change that happens to cause this issue to recur after rebooting isn't in the Wine environment, but somewhere else. That's wierd. Any ideas?

Right, I have tracked this down and fixed it.

Winetricks inserts a bunch of DLL overrides, that were getting forgotten after a reboot. I think that this might have been down to a corrupt user.reg file. Don't know how that came to be, maybe winetricks, but not sure.

Now that the overrides are fixed in place, all is well.

Thanks to all for your pointers.
