I'm trying to install Word Viewer 2003. Even in the application DB it is stated that this program installs and runs (almost) flawlessly, I get the following text in the console:

fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil))
err:service:service_get_status service protocol error - failed to write pipe!

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\temp\\IXP000.TMP\\SETUP.EXE" failed, status c0000005

Any ideas?

Worked fine for me just now on a clean .wine.

Perhaps you have some cruft in your .wine directory,
e.g. native DLL overrides that are no longer needed.
Try renaming your .wine directory and reinstalling word viewer, e.g.
mv .wine .wine.old
wine wdviewer.exe

It worked! Thanks! But there's another problem: since I renamed the old Wine folder, all other programs I installed previously stopped working. How do I merge those two folders so that all programs can work?

You reinstall them. Or use that directory as a separate WINEPREFIX ex:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.old wine my_old_program.exe

Since installing those programs was a nightmare, I renamed the Wine folder with Word Viewer and modified the quicklaunch path according to vitamin's description. Now everything works fine.

Thank you very much!

Oh, and a quick question: all the text every document I open appears to be bold. Which is odd, because everything seems to be normal in OpenOffice and in the same application on Windows.
