Windows Program install error.

[Dan9400]

Trying to install a software called SierraChart however after running the install steps on wine I get this error message when loading the software up after install from the install wizard. (New to wine so please keep it to the basics) Thanks

Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00d43aff).

Null pointer dereference. I'll assume this is a memory allocation problem as in lack of available address space prevents the assignment of a memory region. If it's something else then that would more than likely be a bug in the application's code, perhaps an earlier issue results in this situation. It's more than likely that you're needing to look closer at what happens prior to this error.

The simplest and safest fix is to make sure you've adequate swap space, the default linux kernel is tuned for swap being twice the size of system ram. You may use zram if your kernel's been compiled with it. If you've less and can't add any more then you'll want to re-tune the kernel, at the risk of system instability crash or worse.

https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-gui ... -configure

Obvious overcommits of address space are refused. This is the default.

By refused this means return 0x00000000 instead of an address. Applications are meant to catch this, but there are some that don't.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt

==============================================================

overcommit_kbytes:

When overcommit_memory is set to 2, the committed address space is not
permitted to exceed swap plus this amount of physical RAM. See below.

Note: overcommit_kbytes is the counterpart of overcommit_ratio. Only one
of them may be specified at a time. Setting one disables the other (which
then appears as 0 when read).

==============================================================

overcommit_memory:

This value contains a flag that enables memory overcommitment.

When this flag is 0, the kernel attempts to estimate the amount
of free memory left when userspace requests more memory.

When this flag is 1, the kernel pretends there is always enough
memory until it actually runs out.

When this flag is 2, the kernel uses a "never overcommit"
policy that attempts to prevent any overcommit of memory.
Note that user_reserve_kbytes affects this policy.

This feature can be very useful because there are a lot of
programs that malloc() huge amounts of memory "just-in-case"
and don't use much of it.

The default value is 0.

See Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting and
security/commoncap.c::cap_vm_enough_memory() for more information.

==============================================================

overcommit_ratio:

When overcommit_memory is set to 2, the committed address
space is not permitted to exceed swap plus this percentage
of physical RAM. See above.

==============================================================

The default is overcommit_ratio=50 this sets overcommit_kbytes to half of all your space, ram+swap. That's what's meant by "See above." This is devastating to systems with no swap as your applications will never get a chance to use more than half of your memory. Reducing this is a BAD idea, applications have no problem swapping but the "kernel" can not swap. When the kernel needs more memory and there is no system pages available your data could become corrupted worst case, best case is the system panics and halts. By system pages available I mean empty pages of physical memory, even if your swap has space the kernel uses main memory and it must be free when the kernel goes to use some... "Swappiness!"

ram+(swap=ram*2)=ram*3
"ram*3/2" is perfect, that's why TWICE ram as swap!

I had the same problem and I solved it by replacing a memory module ram
