Installing Enterprise Architect

[gavinlam]

Does anyone have a tutorial for getting Enterprise Architect to run with wine?

I installed wine through yum and then ran the Enterprise Architect installer. But when I launch the software, the splash screen comes up with I get an error message saying:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA Trial\EA.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I'm using Wine 1.1.41 and EA 7.5 on Ubuntu 9.10.

EA installed and ran fine with 1.1.31. But when the update to wine 1.1.41 installed, the failure mentioned by gavinlam occurred for the first time.

My solution (not a good one, but it works) was

1) copy msxml4.dll from my windows machine to the home directory for EA (C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA, if EA was installed to the default directory)
2) use the GUI Wine Configuration to set up special application settings for EA.exe.
3) Select the EA.exe app, configured above and add an over-ride for the library MSXML4 to switch to using the native dll.

According to a command line run, the problem occurred immediately after the following:
fixme:msxml:domdoc_setProperty Unknown property L"SelectionNamespaces".
which results in a crash.

According to the thread "msxml4: Prefer to use the native version" in [email protected], there is a bug report for this already (although I haven't found it yet).

Anyway, I hope this helps

Hi thanks for the help,

I'm new to wine so I'm not sure how to do step 2? Can you provide more information on this?

Thank you

Nevermind. I figured it out.
