wine users - May 2009 - LexisNexis PCLAW ver. 9.20f - BindToObject failed: 80070057

Hi Group:

I am using slackware 12.2 and wine-1.1.20

I run the command:  bash-3.1$ wine P:\\PCLAW32.EXE &>/tmp/log.txt
2>&1

The PCLAW application starts but I'm left with a blank white
"child" window in the center of the screen and the application will go
no further.

The log output shows:

fixme:winspool:OpenPrinterW PRINTER_DEFAULTS ignored =>
(null),(nil),0x000f000c
fixme:shdocvw:PersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x19a5f0)
fixme:shdocvw:WebBrowser_put_RegisterAsBrowser (0x19a5f0)->(ffffffff)
fixme:shdocvw:navigate_url Unsupported args (Flags 0x32de08:3; TargetFrameName
0x32de18:8)
fixme:urlmon:URLMoniker_BindToObject use running object table
fixme:shdocvw:bind_to_object BindToObject failed: 80070057


I have googled for answers regarding similar BindToObject failures but I
can't find anything that states what the problem is and what needs to be
corrected or modified.

Any guidance or pointers to documentation are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Did you install PCLAW in Wine?  If not, you should do so.

Yes.
First, I added the install .exe to the applications tab in winecfg.
Then I installed PCLAW on the slackware machine by running command:

~$wine pclaw920f.exe

During the installation process, I had to go through some preliminary menus
relating the installation of MSXML 6.0 Parser.  From what I could tell it was
successful with no errors reported.  After that, the installation continued
normally as if on a Win XP machine.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I'm ready to test anything else you think might be helpful.

No other information.
The earlier post contained all the info. created in the /tmp/log.txt.

I don't know if this is helpful but I un-installed pclaw and then
re-installed it again.
The exact same error was produced upon execution.
The software starts and runs, but will not run further once the child window
appears.
The child window is a User login window where ID and Password are to be entered,
and the user can select which set of accounting books to access.

Thank you for your time and patience.

This may or may not be necessary.

I'll have to re-read the thread to get the error message on my home system.

Gotcha.  Seems logical it would be this way.
Hmm, I'm so close but yet so far with this software.

Are there any other tests I can do to create output that will help examine the
problem?

Thanks for your help.

Are their any interpretive tools or documentation available to dissect what the
error message refers to?
