First application in Wine

[Gian-Piero]

I have installed Wine 1.1.9 on a PC running openSUSE 11.1. Apparently, all seems ok, I can run winefile, regedit, winecfg. I have installed an application which makes use of an USB port. The installation was ok. When I run this application, I get the following message:

fixme:win:RegisterDeviceNotificationA (hwnd=0x1002a, filter=0xa0fc64,flags=0x00000000),
returns a fake device notification handle!

As I am new to wine, I do not know how to fix this problem.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's the problem? If it's just that error, you can safely ignore it.

The application I use is CDLib to control a DACAL CD library storage device. It is connected via USB. When I launch the application, a small window with the following text appears:
"Please turn on the power of machine and connect to PC, or program will stop after 10 seconds"
and the program ends.
It seems that it can not recognize the device on the USB port.
I have tried all versions of Windows, but the problem is always the same.

I have installed an application which makes use of an USB port.

Wine currently does not support apps talking to USB devices.

The only exception is the USB->serial devices that Wine can with with as a serial device. However this might or might not work for you. You need some missing registry entries, and the code doesn't communicate well with all programs / drivers.

Thank you for your answer. Now all is clear. I have to wait for next version of Wine.

It won't be fixed that quickly.

Would the hacked version of Wine with USB support assist this person to get this device working?

I'm wondering if the device has Linux drivers that would make it appear to be a removable storage device. If that is true, then the old map device in Linux and then map the device to a drive in Wine may work as well.

Since I don't have answers to these questions I'm not certain if this effort is not worth persuing further.

That's the best bet.

No, this is not the case.
