Missing component

Post by chiefjim »

I have installed a program called Scancat Lite, a radio scanner programming database/tool.

Installation went fine but when I try to start the application I get the following error message: "Component pklink.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Checking my .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 shows the path with pklink.ocx present.

The application was installed using the original CD-ROM.

Is this fixable?

Run

Code: Select all

regsvr32 pklink.ocx
in the terminal. If it prints any errors - post them here.

That found a missing dll which I was able to locate with Google and download. The application will now start but will not run correctly. The tab for identifying the radio won't work and I can't communicate via the serial port.

Thanks for the assist.

Have you setup serial port correctly? Do you have read-write access to it? If it's a usb->serial make sure you put a symlink in dosdecices:

Code: Select all

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

The button for selecting the radio series is independent of the connectivity via the serial port. If I remain unable to select the proper radio then the serial port issue becomes moot.

I've got more testing to do.
