wine users - Dec 2010 - Error loading mfc42.dll - failed (error c000007b)

:D Hi,

I installed wine on ubuntu 10.10 to run a windows program as reported here
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22133&iTestingId=59338).
After few trails I decided to reinstall Wine (now version 1.3.8 ), to configure
it as instructed by the guide, and than to install again the windows
application, Birthday Reminder.
At present the application doesn't run for a problem with mfc42.dll
Here the code from my terminal

Code:
claudio at Aspire-8530:~$ wine "c:\\Programmi\\Birthday
Reminder\\bday.exe"
Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)
err:module:import_dll Loading library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by
L"C:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe") failed (error
c000007b).
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"C:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe" failed, status c0000135




I ask for your help, thanks  :D 

Claudio

Ran fine for me with just
  winetricks mfc42

but the log message you posted,
  "Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)"

makes me think you've done something funny.  Try again
with an empty .wine directory.

Thanks Dan for your reply :) 

Consider that before the actual installation of Wine, I did few actions to try
to solve the problem with the previous installation and one of them was the use
of winetricks to load the mfc42 library, of course without any result.

Consider also that before writing this post, I copied file mfc42.dll (taken from
my windows system) into my /home/claudio directory where I found it is located
the file bdays.ini with data used by Birthday Reminder, hoping that the
application would work. Than I gave the command:
wine "c:\\Programmi\\Birthday Reminder\\bday.exe"
and I get the same result as reported in msg #1  [Crying or Very sad] 

The file mfc42.dll is copied actually into following Ubuntu directories:
/home/claudio
/home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi
/home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi/Birthday Reminder

Any idea to help?

Cut it out with sudo. Please quit using sudo, root or su with wine.
This will break things.

:) Waiting for advises on how to proceed safely, I configured Wine following
this guide
http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#USING-WINECFG.

I noticed that folder /home/claudio/.wine was created at winecfg startup.
I copied files bdaysetup.exe (application setup ) e bday.exe (application) in
the folder /home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi to prepare Birthday Reminder
installation.
I set following parameters in WINECFG: 
- Tab Applications > Predefined setting > Windows version: Windows7
- Tab Applications > file /home/claudio/.wine/drive_c/Programmi/bday.exe >
Windows version: WindowsXP
- Tab Units > automatically detect
I verificied the absence of folder Birthday Reminder within Wine menu

Now I should install the application Birthday Reminder. Any suggestion on the
best way to follow to avoid previous errors?

Did you use winetricks to install vc6 runtimes?

Install mfc42 with winetricks.

This fixme can be ignored unless your program is not running correctly.

As for system behavior, what video card are you using?  nVidia GPUs are best,
AMD/ATI so-so and Intel are the worst for use with Wine.  (Not that they are a
bad product, this is based on the quality of Intel drivers versus nVidia
drivers.)
