wine users - Jun 2010 - Error WK1129 - WIBU-KEY kernel driver needs client version

Hi,

I am getting the following error trying to recognise a WIBU-Key

Error WK1129 - WIBU-KEY kernel driver needs client version

I am using Wine 1.1.44

Has anyone encountered this error before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and regards,
Anna.

Here is the wine output:

Hi,

I just contacted the manufacturer and apparently I need to install a windows
kernel driver, which is impossible with wine. Is this true? Or is there a way I
can use this driver?

Thanks,
Anna.

	Yes. Windows driver is useless in Wine. But it always good idea to tell the 
manufacturer that you need Linux support.

	Yes. Use VirtualBox with usb support (free) or VMWare (not free). If unsure, 
try VirtualBox first: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads .

Thank you both for your reply. I will investigate further & let you know the
results.

Yes, they mention having Mac drivers on the website but there's no download
option. I am currently trying to get a copy from their support channels.

Do you think it will be possible to interface between the two?

Thanks,
Anna

Thanks Gert for your reply. It turned out that I was able to download the Mac OS
X drivers from the website. I tried a few things but the app still gives the
same error msg before (i.e. the subject line)

OK, I'll ask that question to WIBU support... unless this is a wine
development thing?

I would like to avoid virtual machines as much as possible (although I did try
out VirtualBox), dual boot is better still but I do that rarely because of the
time it takes to reboot. That's why I prefer wine, especially when I just
want to do something quickly on a windows program. I want to have a decent crack
at getting the app working in wine before I wave the white flag.

Anna.
