Hi,

I'm trying to install "Libero IDE v8.5 " with WINE under Ubuntu 8.10.

"Libero IDE v8.5" uses FlexLM to check the software license, but WINE, when launching any program, produces the following results:

wine: Call from 0x7b844463 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoQueryDeviceDescription, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoQueryDeviceDescription called at address 0x7b844463 (thread 0015), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoQueryDeviceDescription called in 32-bit code (0x7b844463).

err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"Sentinel" failed to load

Anyone have any idea to be able to make the driver "Sentinel" running?

Thanks in advance

Vanilla Wine doesn't support this driver (or any other USB driver).

There is another branch with exactly what you need: http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

Thanks for your reply, vitamin, but the my Sentinel driver is not a USB driver.

Simply, the driver compares the serial number of the hard disk with one encrypted written in an file.

Wine does not support this type of driver either.

I understand that.

The link I gave you is for special Wine branch with support for USB dongles and everything associated to them. This of course includes the actual kernel level driver. This is a much as you can do with Wine.

OK, thanks. I'll try to install support for USB and then we'll see ...
