Problem with DAO 3.6

zorro73 · Post by **zorro73** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 10:17 am

Hi,
I need to install on my ubuntu pc a software that uses DAO to interface with some database mdb.
I installed wine, but gives me an error when launching the program:
"Install DAO 3.6 - sorry for the inconvenience."

I tried to register the dll for the dao 360, but without success.
someone more experienced can give me an help?

thanks

Open a terminal and type the command that dimesio told you. If you us
ubuntu then a gnome terminal is probably what you want. Inside this
terminal type exactly

winetricks jet40

and hit enter.

Do not do this as root, su, sudo. If there are any problems post the
terminal output.

I already told you: install jet40 with winetricks. Follow the instructions on the page I linked to.
