I have read and read and read and cannot seem to figure this out.
I am running Linux Mint 9 and trying to install a windows program that will
never have a linux alternative. It is a locksmith code data base program called
Code Source. Also has two accompanying programs: COA and Master King.
Install requirements are simply windows 98 and newer OS according to HPC's
(manufacture) website. there is a registration code that has to be put in too,
but that isn't the issue. I have three valid install codes (for different
windows machines) and three more left that I can get... but of course linux
isn't supported. I've also figured a way past the algorithm so I can
essentially have the "same installation" across both windows (xp) and
linux.
Anyhow, I get a "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't
create object" message when I click the icon on the desktop. Clicking the
icon in the Wine menu, I simply get "File not found".
Most of the things I have tried have spanned over the past year, so I don't
remember all that I've already tried, but mostly it has involved .dll files.
I'm not too linux literate, but manage to get around in the terminal as long
as I have very detailed set of instructions to go off of. I have tried to work
with winetricks with no luck and even tried play on linux lately.
Will it help if I copy and paste a terminal output when trying to open the
program that way?
Thank you
