I am running Linux Mint with Wine installed, and am testing a suite of Windows
applications which I wrote & have control over, and am trying to determine
why one of them doesn't run under Wine and see if there are any
modifications I can make to it to make it work. The symptoms are a follows:
My application is a server/router written in C++/MFC which implements a
proprietary protocol on top of TCP/IP. When I first tried running it, I
received a WMI error, so I used Winetricks to install WMI. The WMI installation
reported success, I rebooted my machine and attempted running it again. This
time there is no error message, but I just get a spinning cursor for about 10
seconds and then the cursor returns to the pointer. Checking a logfile that my
app creates indicates that it merely exits without ever performing it's
initialization.
I am quite unfamiliar with linux so I do not know where to look for hints as to
what may be going wrong. Several of my other applications run fine, so Wine
seems to be working properly on my machine. Suggestions, please!
