[Fwd: Lotus Notes with wine in opensuse 64 bit]

[Marc Payne]

I decided to copy the mscvr71.dll file from /windows/C/windows/system32
to /home/nsridhar/.wine/drive_c/windows/system directory.

It looks to me like "/windows/C" is a mount point to an actual Windows
installation on another partition of your hard drive. If so, you can't
simply run the program directly from the Windows partition. You will need to
install Lotus Notes onto your Linux partition from the installation CD(s).
I'd start with a fresh ~/.wine directory again, though.

Please check out the FAQ: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ

Also, you may want to read the information specific to your version of Lotus
Notes in the AppDB:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ion&iId=27

Hope this helps a little.

doing this, I get the following error


wine /windows/D/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe
err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR71.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"D:\\Program
Files\\lotus\\notes\\nlnotes.exe" failed, status c0000005

Shouldn't you copy it to system32, not system?

Also, might be better to do
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun2003
rather than copy from windows. But maybe not.

Thanks for your reply. I deleted the ./wine directory under home and

No, don't do this!

nsridhar@NSIBM2:~> wine /windows/D/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe

Bad!
Le sigh...

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ winetricks vcrun2005
$ wine lotus_notes_setup.exe # DO NOT RUN YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLED
VERSION, INSTALL IT FRESH IN WINE

Then report back.

Thanks again for the prompt reply. I apologise for the delay in replying as
I had to arrange for the Lotus Notes Program setup disc. I followed the
instructions as given above. I tried initially to install lotus notes from
wine in the partition D, but, it gave errors and did not install.

Later on I selected the c: drive and the Lotus Notes now works properly
wiht wine. I had to make the initial setup and configuration for the Lotus
Notes. However, the setting of only TCPIP for the network was not possible
from the menu of User-Preferences. I finally opened the notes.ini file and
changed the configuration to lookup only for TCPIP and not LAN0 or other
networks.

However, I am at a disadvantage since I have local replicas of my database
in the /windows/D directory (which I am forced to use sometimes in our
office due to network rules). In the earlier 32 bit version of opensuse, I
was running the windows version directly from wine in opensuse and was
replicating/updating the mail database locally on the same file both from
windows and linux. Now I had to copy my id file, address book as well as the
local replica of my mail database to c:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data unde
home/nsridhar/.wine also. Would it be possible to replicate the same local
file both from windows as well as linux?

Please reply to the list, so others can help/be helped.

Assuming you have write permissions to where the file is stored, you
could try a symlink. However, NTFS support is just now starting to
become fruitful in Linux, so you should be cautious.
