Program installer tries & fails to open a Web page

Post by peyre »

I'm trying to install a children's game for my kids on the Xubuntu box I'm putting together for them. This is Jump Start Preschool World, My First Adventure. I have Wine version 1.1.26 installed. The game installation runs just fine, except then it tries to open a Web browser and take me to the registration page. But it fails to open the browser. Is there something I need to do to get Wine to open a browser when prompted by an application?

First try with wine-1.1.27. There were few bugs fixed with app that launches outside browsers. If that doesn't work, post terminal output.

Good idea. I updated to 1.1.27, but it did the same thing. I ran

Code: Select all

wine INSTALL.EXE &> ~/InstallLog.txt
.

The resulting log file was really short! If I retried the registration thing, it didn't lengthen. Here's the output:

fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Storage share mode not implemented.
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x331a54) using GetSystemInfo()
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x330dd4,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33116c,0x00000000), stub!

Should I run a debug trace?[/code]
