wine users - May 2010 - Re: Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 Trial installs, crashes when run

Rather than start a new thread........

I am trying to install Entertainment Partners MovieMagic Budgeting 7
(http://www.entertainmentpartners.com/Content/Products/Budgeting.aspx) in Wine
in Ubuntu 10.04 (will check Wine version later but it was downloaded through the
Ubuntu software centre yesterday)

This seems to install fine, although with a few graphical glitches, and then
runs through the activation process however I cannot complete the Activation
Wizard at the final step, which throws an 'Unexpected Error, Code
-50003' within the MovieMagic program.

Its not a crash, as I get sent back into the final page of the Wizard but it
cannot complete the activation step.

The illuminating response I received from the company was, "At this time,
the products are not supported on any dual platforms similar to WINE and
Bootcamp. The programs are designed to operate on one stand alone system."

If anyone can assist me in diagnosing the problem and getting this sorted that
would be marvellous!

Make sure you have the latest version of Wine, currently 1.2-rc1, then run it
from a terminal and post whatever messages appear.
