installing EasyRoyalties (MS Access application)

[wfzimmerman]

I am trying to install EasyRoyalties, a Microsoft Access application for managing book publishing info.

I have installed Wine 1.3.28, changed the permissions on the exe file to u+wrx, and double-clicked. I get the first two screens of the Windows setup dialog (welcome and accept terms), then it silently fails. I ran wine start ER.exe from the command line and it gives me these two error messages then fails:

Code: Select all

fz@weirwood:~/.wine/drive_c/users$ wine start EasyRoyalties31145U_setup.exe 
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
wfz@weirwood:~/.wine/drive_c/users$ fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.

How should I proceed to trouble-shoot this?

How should I proceed to trouble-shoot this?

Start by upgrading Wine to the current development release, 1.4-rc2.
