Hi everybody!

I am brand new in this forum and i hope you can help me on this one.

I could install wine without problems on my ubuntu 10.04.

When i am trying to install an msi file with the following command

wine msiexec /i nameOfMsifile.msi

i get the following error message

err:msidb:load_string_table string table load failed! (00293503 != 00133503)

How can i solve this? i cannot figure out how to solve it

Thanks very much for your support!

Need way more information than what is being provided to help you.

One: What is the name of the program you are trying to install?
Two: Does this program come with an installer that will do the msi call
for you?
Three: What version of Wine are you using? (hint: Terminal ->

Code: Select all

 
wine - version

will get it for you.)

i get the following error message

err:msidb:load_string_table string table load failed! (00293503 != 00133503)

Looks like corruption in the string table for the msi or we are not
retrieving enough or too many strings.

Thanks very much for your response James!!

Here is my response:

1) Program: LogMeIn.msi (for remote desktop control)
2) No. It only has the .msi file, not a .exe that calls the msi.
3) I can not use the "wine -version" to get the version number. It says i dont have the version.exe file to retrieve it. However, i re install wine and the version is: wine 0.9.12.

Advice!

Upgrade to Wine 1.3.12. That will probably solve your problem.

its wine --version not wine -version .... two -'s

anything before 1.2.2 need to be upgraded for sure... 1.3.12 probably being the best bet right now.

Also try start.exe to run the msi files, I've always had more luck

cd /path/to/installer
wine start installername.msi

That version is very, very, very, very old. Can you supply specifics on the Linux version and distibution you are using?

Sorry if this hijacks this post in any way everyone!
I am however having much the same problem but am running Wine version 1.4.1 in my Debian machine and it won't run logmein.
Any other ideas?

Start by upgrading Wine to 1.6 or later. If that doesn't fix it, post terminal output.
