Hello,
Further to my mail below, I upgraded my version of wine from 0.9.45 to
0.9.59-1.1
I deleted my ./wine folder under home directory and configured wine with
the winecfg command and assigned proper drive names.
After doing this when i execute the wine command for lotus notes, i got
the following error message.
nsridhar at NSIBM2:~> winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/nsridhar/.wine'...
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: '/home/nsridhar/.wine' created successfully.
nsridhar at NSIBM2:~> wine /windows/D/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe

aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"D:\\Program
File\\lotus\\notes\\nlnotes.exe" failed, status c0000005
I decided to copy the mscvr71.dll file from /windows/C/windows/system32
to /home/nsridhar/.wine/drive_c/windows/system directory. Even after
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
Any guidance on how to resolve this problem?
Regards
N. Sridhar

Hello,
I was able to use Lotus Notes with wine in OpenSuse 10.3 with i586
kernel without any problems.
I got a new laptop with 64 bit processor and decided to install OpenSuse
10.3 with 64 bit version. I installed the wine pacakage also and when i
try to start Lotus Notes after configuring the drives with winecfg, I
get the following error :
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/nsridhar/.wine'...

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.php?sClass=application&iId=27 Hope this helps a little. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

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.
