I'm completely new to Wine. This is my first effort at loading a Winapp, so please bear with me. I'm running Debian Squeeze AMD64 on a single core Athlon with 2G of motherboard RAM. I'm running Wine v 1.0.1, installed as a binary (deb) from Debian's testing(squeeze) repo with apt-get. I looked at the available threads irt RS before I posted this. Nothing seems to fit my issue. Here it is. I ran the installer with Wine. The installer said everything was ok (It also installed quicktime. Can't remember if windows did that it's been a few years). I changed CDs to the Language disc (Chinese I) and clicked on autorun. Everything looked normal. A window opened and the RS screen had a a graphbutton saying,"start Rosetta Stone." I clicked it. The window closed and then nothing. Top and ps confirm neither rosettastone, autorun, nor wineserver were still running. One thing that may be relevant: I have a wine menu item in the GUI which shows directories for both quicktime and rosetta stone. However, neither folder contains an executable. The RS folder tree is Menu>Wine>programs>Rosetta Stone>2.2.0.0A>user's guide. There is no program executable. Trying to open the user's guide doesn't do anything either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
here is some terminal output from trying to start the program in CLI Code: :~$ wine start 'D:\Autorun\autorun.exe' fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500 :~$ fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open is 'fixme' an error code?
OK here's where I'm at. First, I loaded the Debian Sid version (1.1.32) off the debian mirror. That got me farther and I was able to install the Rosetta Stone software. However, I stil can't run it. When I start the software, the Cd begins to spin, after which a "script error: missing object" messagebox appears. Then, it dumps. I follwoed your advice irt newer verison - added and pinned your repo and installed the wine repo squeeze package - v1.1.33. With THIS version, I have no wine-cfg available and the program still doesn't run. Is there a separate package for wine-cfg? I prefer not to source compile if I can avoid it, but that will be necessary to get 1.1.34. Shall I do this? Thanks for your help, so far :)
