Schoolzone windows application

Post by macka601 »

Hi there,

Wondered if someone could give me a few pointers. I am trying to run a schoolzone interactive program for my daughter.

I have attached a output log, i hope this is of some use.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

If you succeed in attaching the log on the forums site, it will be
stripped by Mailman, the program used for the mailing list and be
'lost' for those of us using the list.

It would be much better to post the log to a site like pastebin.com
and then provide us with the URL for the 'pastie' here. Please
include all of the letters and numbers if you use pastebin.

Could you tell us what the exact behaviour of the app is, does it just exit silently, or does it give an error messagebox?

I had a quick look at your debug log, but it's huge. One thing that jumped out was a call

0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileW(0032f59c L"10323.kit\\10323.kit\\licenses\\school zone interactive\\single eula.txt",80000000
0009:Ret KERNEL32.CreateFileW() retval=ffffffff ret=005360be

It fails with an error ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. Could you check if that path exixts somewhere, and if you have a file single_eula.txt anywhere?

Hi quertymn,

Thanks - that helped a bunch! I located the single_eula.txt from the cd and put it into a license folder in the program directory, and it seemed to jump that error.
It bought a box up complaining about not being able to find that file (i now know).

Stuck now on the next file that i guess it can't find.
DataCache.cpp(275) : ZDataCache::ZDataCache cache\cache_scene.xml
DataCache.cpp(279) : ZDataCache::ZDataCache
I think that the setup didn't run properly, and now it has all these files it can't find.

Will have to go back to the supplier i guess

You must be attached to a process to run this command.
No process loaded, cannot execute 'detach'


No idea what that means hopefully if someone is reading this they do :)

Did you install the program using wine? If not, you should do that really. If files are missing it might be a bug in the installer.


If it still crashes after installation in wine you could put up a (bzipped2) debug log again somewhere, maybe i can make sense of something

(btw run the app by
WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d wine appname.exe)

Sorry guys that i haven't been back to this, i have been busy.

Anyhow - i've kinda satisfied some errors and made others... but i have posted this link. It's got to a point where it's crashing in a windows sense.. pops up and says that it's gone critical.... so it must have done something right?
Although i don't think i'm running the right "main" exe.

Um - what else, yes, i ran the installer from wine, but it crashes in that as well. I think it's more when it's decompressed files into the program directory and then tried to run it, and crashes.

Anyhow - here's the link to the output, if there's anything in there of interest please let me know

Thanks for your help too.

Dear Grant,

Like you I was trying to install this for my daughter today.
She was given it as a gift.
Hit the same problems as you. My work around was to do an install
on a real windows machine (I know not ideal!) to find out
where all the files were meant to be. I then moved the whole school zone
directory found inside Program Files across to my linux wine install
completely removing it from the windows machine.
The program seems to run fine from inside wine. No windows registry
stuff appeared to be needed. I start it with "wine 10304_8.exe"

If you don't have a windows machine to temporarily extract to I could
compare your directory structure to mine so you can manually pull files
from your own CD. Please send me a private mail if you need this.

Hi Pd,

I got around this in the end with the help of their support team.

basically what happens is the installer packs a sad 1/2 way thru the installation and doesn't extract all the files (like you said). So i found there's a "zip" file (named with another extension), with all the files in it, There is an XML File in the same directory that has all the compressed file names eg X31434 = school.png. So i unzipped all these files to a directory, then ran a small PHP script i wrote that found the file name from the XML directory and renamed it and put it into the right directory.

Worked swimmingly after that no problem.
