wine users - Feb 2010 - Dragon NS 9 Standard Installation errors

Hi all, wondering if you can help me. Here is the problem

I was running kubuntu jaunty a while back and finally managed to install DNS
Standard 9 with wine. I don't think I did anything too special , just ran
the installation disk, It worked Okay, it has to be said.

It survived updates of wine, right up to 1.1.38, and an upgrade to kubuntu
Karmic. However, I recently had a problem which required a complete reformat and
a reinstall and I can't get it back.

Forgive me please if this is the wrong way to go about this but here is the log
for the attempted install:

Is there anything there that says what has gone wrong (there appear to be many
things!) and importantly how I might fix it?

Many thanks in advance

Ian

Don't like to bump but before it goes off the page does anyone have any
thoughts please?

TIA

Hi. 
I looked at the terminal output you produced. I'm no expert but there
doesn't seem to be anything unusual in it.
Could you do me a favor?
Start with a clean and empty wine prefix.
Make sure you have the file cabextract installed. 

sh winetricks gdiplus gecko fontfix fontsmoothing-gray

Copy the contents of your disk to you home directory, as DNS. 

cd dns
wine setup 

The one difference with more recent versions of wine is that there is now very
effective monitoring of DNS licensing rights. I don't know how that could be
a problem for you, but it might.
Also, I've run into a really weird situation a couple of times. Using
firefox at the same time has caused my installations to abort. ???
I'm using 10 Standard now without a problem. I still have 9 around here
somewhere. In the next couple of days I'll get it out and see if I can make
it install and run.
Susan

Thank you both for your input - I'll give it a whirl when I get home tonight
and report back.

Susan - to clarify, by an empty wine prefix I assume you mean renaming my
existing /home/ian/.wine file and running winecfg again?

Thanks

---Yes, that's what I meant. 
Susan

Thanks for all the help. You both got me on the right track.

After a very frustrating time (with error messages galore, such as could not
find register.ini and various Dlls which incidentally were where they were meant
to be, so something was wrong with registration.) I have at the (about 15th
attempt!) achieved 99% success :D

I say 99% because I had to manually put in a desktop link, it doesn't appear
in the kde menu and I don't have the pretty Dragon desktop icon. However, it
runs, and seems to do so pretty well, and I was able to tell it to pick up my
user files and I was up and running straight away. Anyway for any other
sufferers here's how I finally got it to work.

1. Do not run the current wine (or any recent one) as it doesn't play nicely
with the Dragon installer for some reason. Uninstall it and install an older
version. (the one that worked for me was 1.1.6. (for example 1.1.16 did not)

2. Rename your existing wine folder then run winecfg in a terminal

3. Then follow Susans directions. It's very important that you copy the
contents of both installation CDs.

4. For good measure I created a separate folder for the installation within the
home directory, although I don't know whether that had an effect.

Thanks again for the help

--------------------------------------
Additional suggestion:
You have a good wine. Make a backup copy. 
If DNS9.5 starts behaving sluggishly, or crashes and can't be re-started,
you have the backup copy to fall back on.

Thanks, will do as soon as I've got Quicken 2002 running again due to the
creation of the new .wine file. I can't see myself having any issues with
that because I was able to recently reinstall it easily. I will also keep a copy
of wine 1.1.6 as well I think, only a few Mbs, as at least |I know that version
works.

By the way, the installation did not survive the application of service patch 1
but it was easy to repair once I reinstalled wine 1.1.6. I should stop fixing
things till they are broken :D
