wine users - Oct 2008 - help with lotus notes invocation using wine

hi friends..

i am on ubuntu8.4 wit wine 0.9 i tried to access lotus notes installed on my
windowsXP using wine..
i finished the inital steps to do this..

Then i when i executed notes.exe using wine it gave me an error:
You cannot use the Administration program while the Domino Server is
running. Either shut down the Domino Server (but keep the file server
running) or choose the icon labeled 'Lotus Notes' instead

then i changed the ownership the error was:
cant preload some address which again i changed int the  /etc/sysctl.conf the
starting address to 0
then the error was:

Unable to access data directory c:\program files\lotus\notes\data using
preferences file c:\program files\lotus\notes\notes.ini

then i changed few configurations which somehow reverted back to what originally
it was:

now the error i get is:

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.DLL (which is needed by
L"Z:\\home\\praveeg\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Common
Files\\lotus\\notes\\nstclientu.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.DLL (which is needed by
L"Z:\\home\\praveeg\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Common

err:module:import_dll Library nimuiu.dll (which is needed by
L"Z:\\home\\praveeg\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Common
Files\\lotus\\notes\\nstclientu.dll") not found
err:ole:CoReleaseMarshalData IMarshal::ReleaseMarshalData failed with error
0x8001011d

Install Lotus Notes under Wine.

Update Wine, preferably to 1.1.5, else, if you must, 1.0.0

Read: http://wiki.winehq.org/LotusNotes and

Hello wineHQ Forum!

Im trying the same: Using  Wine to invoke an existing Lotus installation on NTFS
partition.

Wine does start the application. 

However Notes dialogs not finding a data directory:

 C:\something 

as defined in preference file 

Z:\smbdrive\preferences.ini.

How can I communication those directories to Notes through wine?

Regards,

Felix.

wat do u mean by changing some directory.. by ntfs partiton did u change the
directories under windows or under the .wine directory?

it is actually working by simply wine the .exe on ntfs partition after changing
some directory names in the notes files.

VERY nice!!!

Cheers,

Felix.

hey i finally figured out wat to do....

am not sure weder this s the rite way of doin t bt t works for me...
 1.Goto Wine directory  
for the .wine to exists goto
applications->wine->accessories->notepad... this creates the .wine dir
cd ~/.wine
2. cd drive_c/Program\ Files/
3.create a symlink (This represents the link in windows) 
  To make links between files you need to use ln command. A symbolic link (also
known as a soft link or symlink) consists of a special type of file that serves
as a reference to another file or directory"
ln -s  /media/WIN XP/Program Files/lotus/
or 
ln -s  /media/sda1/Program Files/lotus/

4. Run this command
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe =
~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/notes.ini
